Tidings | Feb 3, 2021

A new website offers Maine's growing aquaculture industry an online knowledge portal that connects resources from many organizations in one convenient hub.

“This website delivers tremendous value to anyone starting out in aquaculture, as well as folks who are already in the game,” said Ben Hamilton of Love Point Oysters. “I am so thoroughly impressed, and I hope it serves as a catalyst for continued aquaculture growth in Maine.”

Nobody knows sea farming better than the sea farmers themselves. Ultimately, we just wanted to create a space for Maine’s thriving community of aquaculture businesses to share, learn, and grow with each other.
