The programs for GAA's two 2006 Global Outlook meetings merged seafood professionals representing the shrimp and fish sectors in an overlapping schedule for discussions on issues that affect both industries. This year, seafood industry leaders will converge in a single combined GOAL 2007 schedule.
 
All registrants will receive information pertinent to producers and marketers of both fish and shrimp. Follow-up panel discussions will increase perspectives and lead to greater synergy across the global sphere of aquaculture. To further build understanding and encourage linkages, GOAL 2007 sessions will provide an increased emphasis on issues and information pertinent to European markets.
 
In proprietary presentations, seasoned industry professionals will present essential, specific data. Standardized regional production figures for shrimp and fish will be summarized during the presentations, with the full presentation material included in participants' conference notebooks.

The GOAL 2007 issues sessions will address the important health benefits of fish and shrimp, new developments in seafood safety, certification of aquaculture facilities, and how best to expand aquaculture's outlook in a responsible and sustainable fashion. In addition, new Innovation Sessions will deliver an informative update on a wide range of technological advances in seafood.
