ACUICULTURA

La acuicultura es una industria en crecimiento, tanto a nivel local como global, en respuesta a la pérdida de hábitat, la sobrepesca y el aumento de la población humana. Los estudiantes trabajan para comprender los fundamentos de la química del agua, la biología marina, las ciencias ambientales y la ganadería mediante proyectos prácticos.

Descripción del programa

< < <

Aquaculture is a three year program following the Introduction to NY Harbor Class in 9th Grade. Like all of our CTE tracks, Aquaculture includes a Work Based Learning component, Career and Financial Management and College preparation. Throughout the program, students study aquaculture species, with a focus on shellfish culture for restoration work. Other topics infused into all three years of aquaculture include, but not are limited to, research skills, technical drawing, geography, marine biology, genetics, taxonomy and environmental science.

The field of Aquaculture is currently booming as a global industry and can provide a sustainable source of protein as land based conventional farming resources and wild fish populations continue to drop. Since Aquaculture is becoming more important to global food systems, as well as restoration work, it affords participants the opportunity to engage in global issues that employ a wide range of skills.
