Ohio Sea Grant and the Great Lakes Aquaculture Collaborative invite you to learn more about aquaculture (fish farming) in the Great Lakes region with virtual farm tours and live question and answer sessions with farmers! All events will be held via Zoom.
Are you someone who just barely knows what aquaculture is, and wants to learn more? How about someone who is thinking about opening an aquaculture facility? Or do you own your own aquaculture facility and are looking for networking and inspiration? Great Lakes Aquaculture Days 2021 is for you!
Each day from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. ET we will feature a successful Great Lakes region aquaculture farm with a virtual tour, followed by a live interview and Q&A. Feel free to attend the tours and interviews that sound most interesting to you or attend them all!
