Going to Woods Hole to reseacrh MBL

On a quick day trip to Falmouth for some shopping needs, I decided to include a stop off to check out the Marine Biological Labs in Woods Hole. My first story for Hatchery International is going to be on the ongoing Sustainable Aquaculture Initiative (SAI) run out of the institution. 

SAI looks to bring affordable, low-scale aquaculture technology and practices to 3rd world nations where people struggle from malnutrition. 

For the mag, I'll have to focus on the hatchery side of things which takes place in Woods Hole. But the global angle of the initiative is what interests me and highlights the great impact aquaculture can have beyond just the balanced replacement of over-fished wild fisheries. Aquaculture can also play a role in meeting the nutritional needs of impoverished people around the world.

Here on the blog, I will illuminate more on how this takes place--from the hatcheries at MBL to the sustainable fish farms in Haiti and Sub-Saharan Africa, where the pilot program has begun taking form.
