Could Fish Farming Feed Haiti?

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - July 8, 2011 - 12:10 pm

That could change thanks to a so-called “blue revolution,” or an increase in fish farming. With 1,100 miles of coastline, free-range fish farming could help a problematic agricultural economy, according to Phil Cruver. Culver’s KZO Education, a Florida-based marine aquaculture organization, is bringing over a group of Haitians this fall to Florida to learn about sustainable fish farming.
