About ACES Part 1: Macroalgae
ACES Part 1 focuses on macroalgae (seaweed) and is designed for individuals already engaged in the fishing, shellfishing or aquaculture industry who wish to acquire fundamental skills in cultivating these aquatic plants, and serves as an entry point for those aspiring to enter the field of seaweed farming. It is also a great program for students to learn a different type of food production system that is environmentally sound. The culture of macroalgae and/or seaweeds is an industry that is expanding rapidly in New England, the Pacific Northwest, and around the world. Recent shifts in commercial aquaculture offer fishermen and lobstermen the opportunity to grow seaweed during the winter when their fisheries are shut down. ACES is an online curriculum that covers both the U.S. perspective as well as inclusion of seaweed culture around the world.
