We had so much fun at the premiere of our film "Tending the Tides"! Over 200 attendees showed up to see the film and celebrate the young people leading our sector forward. We so proud of our apprentices and pre-apprentices as they pursue careers in aquaculture. We'd especially like to thank Focus Maine and the World Wildlife Fund for sponsoring the film, the Gulf of Maine Research Institute for their work developing the apprenticeship program, and the Maine Outdoor Film Festival for helping pull the event off. It couldn't have gone better. Thank you to all our attendees who support this work and, like us, believe that aquaculture is a vital part of Maine's future! If you missed the premiere, you'll have another opportunity to see it in MOFF this summer, or at a series of other screenings we will be hosting around the state. See you there! #maineaquaculture #mainefilm #farmthesea #apprenticeship #aquacultureapprenticeship #greenjobs photo credit: Island Institute (fb)
