Aquaculture in the marine environment will be an essential source for healthy and sustainable protein for the growing population. While support for marine aquaculture is growing, skepticism remains, largely due to misinformation that is based on outdated information or provided with limited context. Attend the Aquarium of the Pacific’s topic discussion with special guest experts, Mike Rust and Paul Olin, to learn more about marine aquaculture at the Aquarium’s Watershed Classroom on December 11, 2015 from 2:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.
