Aquaculture In Action

Maryland Sea Grant and University of Maryland Extension have developed an educational program called Aquaculture in Action for K-12 science teachers. The program provides professional development for teachers and administrators on the use of recirculating aquaculture as a tool for teaching science and provides support for the design and implementation of aquaculture in the classroom. It is based on a model created in close partnership with Carroll County Public Schools and the county's science research course instructors beginning in 1996.
