Description:
Great Lakes Aquaculture Days is a chance for those interested in aquaculture, and its products, to learn more. This year the Great Lakes Aquaculture Collaborative will highlight six farms through virtual farm tours, live farmer interviews, and a live audience Q&A time. This is a great opportunity for those who would like to start an aquaculture farm, those who own a farm, or those who would like to learn more about aquaculture business across the region.
Each day will have a three-part schedule of:
15-20 minutes - Pre-recorded virtual farm tour
15-20 minutes - Live farmer interview
10-20 minutes - Live audience Q&A for farmers and Sea Grant aquaculture experts
