The ECSGA ListServ

If you’re not taking advantage of the ECSGA Listserv email list you’re missing out on a great service offered by our association.  If you have a question, the odds are good that someone out there has an answer.  Many members have found "the List" to be a tremendously helpful tool to solve problems or find solutions from others who have already learned their lessons the hard way.

Access to the List is now open to everyone, but if you're not a member please join to support our efforts by clicking on the big blue Join button under the top menu.

For many years we maintained a Listserv hosted by the University of Rhode Island, then briefly moved to Google Groups when URI dropped that service. In 2022 the University of Connecticut began hosting our current version of ECSGA Listserv, called ECSGA-L.

ECSGA Swap Meet

If you want to buy, sell or donate used gear; buy or sell seed; look for employment or post a position, we maintain another list called Swap Meet. It's a bit like Facebook Marketplace, but is set up as a Google group, so you can sign yourself up.

Directions are at ecsga.org/swapmeet instead of ECSGA-L.

Although access to the List is generally restricted to association members and regulators, special consideration will be given on a case-by-case basis if you don't easily fit into one of those categories.

ECSGA-L Fast Facts

  • This is a moderated list so posts will be vetted to make sure they are shellfish–relevant (no jokes, holiday greetings, attaboys, etc.), are civil and don't disparage others.
  • We welcome posts about: interesting articles or announcements, questions about growing, seed for sale; employment openings (please no posts asking to buy seed or looking for a job - post those requests to the Swap Meet.
  • Frequency of posts averages around 5 a week, but if that’s too much mail in your inbox you can change your preferences to weekly or daily digests instead of receiving each post as it comes in.
  • Once you are signed up, to post to the entire list send an email to: ECSGA-L@LISTSERV.UCONN.EDU
  • To unsubscribe from the list send a blank email to: ECSGA-L-signoff-request@LISTSERV.UCONN.EDU
