Aquaculture Education NYC
-
Dear Crew:
I know that this platform is mostly about starting farms but I am the Aquaculture teacher at NY Harbor School in NYC and we partner with Billion Oyster Project to grow Micro Algae and Oysters for restoration work.I am interested in teaching more about macro algae. Any teachers out there who have grown native seaweed in Urban Schools? Hope to learn more
Thanks, Roy

@roy_arezzo -Happy to have you here! Maybe you should connect with @jay_esty. He teaches Aquaculture to High Schoolers in Boston. I got to meet him in person at the Maine Aquaculture Conference and he seems to be doing a lot of cool stuff. Not sure where he's at with his projects at the moment but hope you can connect.
@jwhis -Thanks , I sent him an email

@roy_arezzo You might also check out the ATEC site that has online curriculum and teaching components for high school teachers. Dr. @ike_levine has put a lot of thought and effort into building out a curriculum to teach younger students about algae cultivation from a young age! And there's a free online course for macro and micro algae cultivation as well!
