Maryland Sea Grant and University of Maryland Extension have developed an educational program called Aquaculture in Action for K-12 science teachers. It is based on a model created in close partnership with Carroll County Public Schools and the county's science research course instructors beginning in 1996.

The success of the program is built upon its five fundamental elements:
