Join our conference and meet shellfish experts from around the world. 

The first ICSR was held in 1996.

Unique in its approach, ICSR is organized to allow interaction among participants forming collaborations and friendships that last a lifetime. 


ICSR returns in 2024 to the southeastern United States, convening on Jekyll Island, Georgia.
