Find out on this page more about aquaculture, the fastest growing sector of U.S. agriculture, and how it can be used as a successful tool to motivate, excite, and stimulate students to learn.

Teachers infusing aquaculture are creating new and exciting opportunities for students to learn "hands-on", practical applications of math and science principles.

Aquaculture is offering students an opportunity to take part in a "living lab," incorporating aquatic species, and have a "birth to market" growing experience during the school year.

The National Council for Agricultural Education (The Council) established aquaculture as a goal for infusion into secondary agricultural education programs. Since initiation as a national effort in 1990, thousands of teachers have been teaching aquaculture education as an innovative approach to teaching applied science.
