The Caribbean Aquaculture Hub is growing! We are small but we are ready to start making an impact in 2025. But we cannot do it without a team. I want to celebrate the teamwork and dedication of the volunteers at the Caribbean Aquaculture Hub that contributed to our growth in 2024.

Although we are an online community and some of us have never met in person, we believe that in building a team we are creating a community. There is so much more work ahead of us, so I feel it is really important to thank those who believe in the vision to get us where we need to go. I

As I reflect on the progress and impact made at Caribbean Aquaculture Hub, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the incredible professional volunteers, passionate students, and visionary board of directors who have brought our mission to life.
