Yesterday, as part of my "Brown Bag" webinar series I provided an overview of Florida aquaculture products.
The goal of the webinar is to increase participants’ knowledge and awareness of the diversity of aquaculture products produced in Florida and shed some light on the value of this important industry to the
state's economy and people.
