I was invited to present my work with k-12 youth in aquaculture at the National Aquaculture Extension Conference in Portland, Maine. This exceptional networking event allowed me to share my research with approximately 75 aquaculture extension professionals throughout the country and some abroad. After my presentation, approximately 15 people approached me about my work with youth and aquaponics. I shared my contact information and told them about our Aquaponics Teachers' Curriculum Manual, and Aquaponics Production Manual. One of the contacts that I made was a researcher from Northern Marianas College which is an island located between the Philippines, Japan and Papua New Guinea. They were very interested in my work with youth and aquaponics and I have been providing advice to them on how to construct low-cost aquaponics for their students to use as an educational tool. It was wonderful seeing other people feel inspired by my work to utilize aquaponics with youth.
