Aquaculture Internships

In this episode of Voice of the Sea, we’re talking aquaculture jobs and internships, from cutting-edge, fish mariculture to village-level aquaponics. We visit Heʻeia loko iʻa, a traditional fishpond managed by Paepae o Heʻeia on the island of Oʻahu. We check out Blue Ocean Mariculture’s cutting-edge, kanpachi hatchery and offshore facility on the island of Hawaiʻi. And, we travel to the American Samoa Community College aquaponics research and teaching facility on the island of Tutuila.
