Downeast Audubon program recorded Feb. 8, 2024: Natalie Springuel, Marine Extension Program Lead with Maine Sea Grant, will share an introduction to aquaculture, a sector of Maine’s working waterfront that has made a lot of headlines lately. We’ll cover the history of aquaculture in Maine; the diversity of species (shellfish, seaweed and salmon) and methods currently underway in local waters; and the regulatory process governing aquaculture licensing, including how you, the public, can get involved in that process. Whether you are curious about farming yourself or simply want to gain an understanding of what aquaculture is all about, this talk will strive to cover the basics.
