Synergistic Activities

• Marine Resources Committee, Jefferson County, WA; Committee Member (appointed 2004- 2010)
• Western Regional Aquaculture Center; Research Sub-Committee, 2002-2004.
• National Shellfisheries Association; Member, 1986 to present; NSA Industry Committee Chair; 1996 to 2000; NSA Industry Committee Co-Chair; 2001; NSA Secretary, 2003-04; NSA Member at Large, 2004-2007; NSA President-Elect, 2007-2009; NSA President, 2009-2011; NSA Past President, 2011-2013.
• Between 1997-2005, Davis taught courses in aquaculture at the University of Washington to undergraduates in Fisheries Sciences and consulted internationally on projects relates to induced triploidy in bivalve molluscs.
• Working with NOAA and the Puget Sound Restoration Fund, Davis serves as Science Advisor to the Kenneth K. Chew Center for Shellfish Research and Restoration, a state of the art shellfish restoration hatchery and laboratory in Manchester, WA. Completed in 2014, the laboratory houses PSRF restoration activities for oysters and abalone, as well as collaborative research projects with the University of Washington on seaweed culture and multi-trophic integrated aquaculture.
• In 2014 Davis, initiated work through the PSRF with Vulcan Philanthropy to establish a pilot-scale seaweed cultivation array. The project is assessing whether growing seaweeds can induce positive net changes in carbonate chemistry while providing habitat and a local sanctuary for sensitive marine organisms against effects associated with ocean acidification and associated changes in the carbonate chemistry of seawater.
