Dive Deep: The Future of Aquaculture
What will become of our oceans, and our aquaculture industry? These stories highlight people working to ensure smooth sailing in our waters for years to come.
Our waterways can feel unknowable.
But just like in other areas of our food supply, there are people working to improve water conditions and ensure sustainable aquaculture practices are in place for generations to come. This collection of stories from our archives highlight just a few of these efforts. From fighting ocean plastics with fungi to bringing sub-sea foraging to the dining room, these people are working to make our waters a better place. And many of them are bucking longstanding traditions, like the women who have found their place in Maine’s lobstering communities, or the folks making oysters accessible to everyone.
The oceans, lakes, and rivers around us may be vast and strong. But these stories, and others in our archives, show that we can be strong as well, when we work together.
