WABI covers UMaine Extension 4-H Science Saturday on aquaculture
WABI (Channel 5) reported on the University of Maine Cooperative Extension 4-H Science Saturday that offered middle school students the opportunity to explore aquaculture and marine science research. Participants were able to play games and perform experiments similar to those conducted in UMaine research labs. Topics covered included the creation of waves and the business of aquaculture, WABI reported. Organizers of the event told WABI teaching children these topics now can help them later in life. “Aquaculture is about keeping the oceans sustainable so they can continue to grow the businesses and grow the products,” said Hannah Chisholm, a graduate student at UMaine. Other 4-H Science Saturdays coming up include a session on equine science, the report states.
