Aquaculture in Action Participating Schools
The Aquaculture in Action (AinA) program has its roots in Maryland. The Maryland schools have been participating in the aquaculture of native and ornamental species dating back to 1998. We are excited to include new state partners and schools across the USA that are using aquaculture as a tool for teaching science and project-based learning.
Aquaculture in Action is an educational program for K-12 science teachers developed by Maryland Sea Grant and University of Maryland Extension. For more information about this program, please contact:

Featured Research Project
Interstate Blue Crab Transportation and the Risk of Iintroducing Novel Viruses into the Chesapeake Bay Crab Fishery
Callinectes sapidus supports the most valuable commercial fishery in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Nationally, the average total dockside value of blue crab fisheries in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Louisiana and Texas approaches $200 million. Interstate live blue crab transport has increased due to seasonal cycles of crab landings in the Chesapeake regions and changes in allocation of immigration permits for guest workers.
