Responsible aquaculture practices can sustainably provide food security to meet future protein demands without increasing the pressure on wild-capture fishery resources. In partnership with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) Division of Aquaculture and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), the UF/IFAS Center for Public Issues Education in Agriculture and Natural Resources developed a toolkit of communication materials about aquaculture operations in Florida, the potential benefits, and how concerns are being addressed.
We invite you to join us on June 23 at 11 A.M. Eastern for our upcoming webinar. We will provide an overview of aquaculture in Florida and showcase our new educational toolkit. Kenneth Riley will explain aquaculture production possibilities in Florida, and Ricky Telg will provide an overview of the new resources to aid in your communication on aquaculture.
