Co-PIs Andre Seale and Rajesh Jha (both HNFAS), in collaboration with Darren Lerner and Darren Okimoto of the UH Sea Grant College Program, recently received a 3-year NOAA Sea Grant 2018 Aquaculture Initiative award of $749,815. The overall goal of this project, as they explain, is to establish an aquaculture program at UHM that leverages and integrates land-grant and sea-grant research, Extension, and education resources, including a state-of-the-art recirculating aquaculture demonstration center called the Tuahine Aquaculture Research and Education Center (TAREC) to address the research and Extension capacity needs of the industry.
