The 2024 Women in Aquaculture Series builds skills and centers community among active and aspiring aquaculturists in Maine who self-identify as women or nonbinary.
The series focuses on targeted skills for women on the water and is designed around emerging social science research on the training needs for women in aquaculture. Workshops will be taught and led by women and will focus on key skills including: seamanship and maritime skills, gear and labor practices for different bodies, self-advocacy and safety, community relations and telling your story, business financing, and more. In addition to skill building, the series focuses on knowledge-sharing and co-learning to empower participants and build community for women and nonbinary aquaculturists. The series is free of charge to participants and includes both virtual and in-person components.
This 2024 Women in Aquaculture Series is hosted in partnership with the Aquaculture in Shared Waters training program, which has helped people start and improve their aquaculture businesses in Maine for over a decade. By empowering underrepresented aquaculturists to build skills and meaningful connections, the workshop series aims to foster greater diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in Maine’s aquaculture sector.FEBRUARY - MAY 2024
