We are committed to educating our citizenry about the opportunities and challenges associated with continued expansion into the marine realm. Our goals in this area include giving K-12 students hands-on exposure to fisheries and underwater robotics, providing coastal managers and researchers with workshops and symposia, and communicating the results and implications of our research to as wide an audience as possible. We will continue to foster collaboration with other groups and institutions in these efforts.. |

Aquaculture: Raising Saltwater Fish in the Classroom overview MIT Sea Grant
has developed a two-volume high school curriculum about aquaculture,
which includes both a teacher
edition and student handbook. Most classroom
aquaculture programs start with larger fish, but this curriculum
begins the process earlier by teaching students about hatcheries—an
important piece in the aquaculture puzzle. The curriculum uses
MIT's Marine Finfish Hatchery as a model and provides step-by-step
information on how to build and maintain a hatchery, raise food
for larvae, care for fish, and maintain water quality. |
