This year we will highlight 6 farms through virtual farm tours, live farmer interviews, and a live audience Q&A time. This is a great opportunity for those who would like to start an aquaculture farm, those who own a farm, or those who would like to learn more about aquaculture to see examples of successful aquaculture businesses across the region.

Virtual tours and farmer interviews will start each day at 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) with a 3-part schedule of:

• 15-20 minutes – Pre-recorded virtual farm tour
