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. |

Project
Title: Finfish
Hatchery and Marine Education Center Project Summary: Farm raising fish for consumption is not a new concept, but there are not many marine fish species that are commercially available. MIT Sea Grant recognized the need to aid in the development of aquaculture in Massachusetts and started a Boston Aquaculture Initiative Program to deal with these issues. In January of 1998, MIT Sea Grant's Marine Finfish Hatchery began operation in the Charlestown Navy Yard. In 2003, the hatchery moved north to our new aquaculture facility, located at the Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center.
