The Â鶹ɫÇéƬ Center for Economic and Environmental Development is now enrolling students for Applied Shellfish Farming, a non-credit course offered during the winter/spring semester that teaches both aspiring shellfish farmers and aquaculture professionals the ins and outs of commercially growing oysters, quahogs, scallops and mussels.
When the inventors of a cutting-edge wave energy technology needed help to take their concept to beta-testing for a chance at $1.5 million in funding, they turned to the experts at Â鶹ɫÇéƬ’s School of Architecture, Art and Historic Preservation.
Â鶹ɫÇéƬ sponsors workshop aimed at applying latest research on local corals toward solutions for declining tropical coral reef health around the globe.
In sharing their latest research, professors Andrew Rhyne and Koty Sharp collaborate on coral reef conservation strategies among 2,500 scientists and policy makers.
From the need for tracking the marine ornamental fish trade to reasons for pioneering tropical fish aquaculture, Â鶹ɫÇéƬ’s marine biologist Andrew Rhyne examines the pros and cons of the aquarium hobbyist.
