Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The HARBOR BRANCH Division of Aquaculture's strong commitment to education and training is realized through the Aquaculture Center for Training, Education and Demonstration (ACTED). Harbor Branch launched the ACTED program in 1995, when the Florida Legislature passed a constitutional ban on net fishing and created an immediate need for practical training in aquaculture species and production systems. While the program was originally designed to help with the retraining of displaced fishermen and economically disadvantaged workers, we have since exposed over 5,000 individuals to aquaculture using a combination of hands-on laboratory and field experiences, classroom instruction, and multimedia seminars. We will continue to use research-based information, the latest technology and science to develop unique training programs.
