Caribbean Life Science Students changing the narrative about Aquaculture for Caribbean SIDS, updating on Leanne Bennet's where you can learn more about Tilapia and oyster farming in Jamaica
Hello Everyone,
Welcome to all new subscribers thank you for joining us. I hope you will find these newsletters interesting.
I am updating this post with Leanne Bennet's talk. Leanne is one of the Founding members of Women in Caribbean Aquaculture. Listen to learn more about Jamaica’s Tilapia aquaculture statistics, oyster culture and of course an over view of thr Jamaican culture.

Recording for the Student’s networking event
Leanne Bennet - Masters student invitation for a presentation on oyster aquaculture
I am so proud! In a month the UWI students and recent graduates who came together as volunteers, put together for the very first time in the Caribbean's history of aquaculture a Youth networking group! #youthincaribbean #youthforaquaculture. Thank you to all the students who participated in making this event possible.
They have done such an amazing job in working together as a team to empower themselves in an environment that offers little education and training for Caribbean University students that want to learn more about aquaculture sciences that have relevance to Caribbean SIDS. I congratulate the following on this amazing effort.
Matthew-Pierre Rogers

Check out recent marine biology graduate Matthew-Pierre Rogers give an overview of the current status of aquaculture in the Caribbean to the students.
The undergraduates and graduates of The University of the West Indies are an untapped resource. From the Life Science department marine biology and environmental biology undergrads through the Caribbean Aquaculture Hub are discovering opportunities that are available to them in the aquaculture sector.
*Caribbean Aquaculture Education and Innovation Hub promotes education to empower future research scientists to develop sustainable solutions for aquaculture development and environmental stewardship in the region. We are requesting donations to expand our student programs.
I have also made available the full recording of the Q&A session. The students had so many very valuable questions which will be very useful in creating our programs for them.
