Learning from the Best: Virtual Fish Farm Tours with the Great Lakes Aquaculture Collaborative

摘要

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to provide a challenging atmosphere for many, including those providing in-person educational programs and outreach. This article describes how the Great Lakes Aquaculture Collaborative (GLAC)1 incorporated feedback from our first event, Great Lakes Aquaculture Day (GLAD) 2020 (Jescovitch et al. 2021), and aquaculture industry advisory groups to design and deliver our second event, Great Lakes Aquaculture Days (GLADs) in 2021. GLADs 2021 featured six recorded farm tours combined with live farmer interviews to highlight common themes across successful aquaculture businesses of a variety of types in the Great Lakes region.
