I’ve met a whole heap of fishy people. From a private veterinarian who deals with Disney Aulani Hotel, to the Dept of Agriculture colleagues who deal with regulation. I’ve met some of the personnel at the University of Hilo who run the aquaculture program and met the lead scientists and managers at several establishments.
I have visited the largest gene bank of sygnathids (seahorse-type animals) in the world, biggest koi farm in USA, biggest aquaponics farm in USA (or even the world!), biggest abalone farm in USA and lots more! Today I’ll be attending an unplanned, one day conference on Aquaponics in Honolulu. It was an opportunity too good to pass by. There are over 200 registrants for this course. All this in Hawaii, in just the first week of my trip!
Stay tuned for what I see and do when I head to Florida next week!
