Sea Grant extension agents at The Auburn University Marine Extension and Research Center (AUMERC) in April sponsored two seafood safety workshops, one in Bayou La Batre, Ala., and the other in Biloxi, Miss. The workshops were taught by Robert Becker, a seafood technologist with AUMERC, and Dr. Linda Andrews, a retired associate research and extension professor with Mississippi State University.

The workshops provide seafood regulators and members of the seafood industry with the knowledge and tools to assist the seafood industry and to enforce the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. The course also covered the seven basic principles of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and the sanitation requirementsof the regulations.
