News for August
WINAA Summit, Virtual Island Summit, LAQUA2024, MARKETING PRODUCTS FOR A CAUSE
Hello Everyone
I took a short break in August. It was incredibly humid and hot here in Central Italy making it unbearable to work. Unlike in North America, air conditioning and ice are not in the vocabulary and are quite a luxury. Traditionally for the month of August, Rome becomes a desert for its residents and only tourists are found wandering around in the 100F (40C) temperatures.
September is gearing up to be a busy month for The Caribbean Aquaculture Hub so please register and participate in these events.
The Caribbean Aquaculture Hub is very busy behind the scenes so please subscribe to our social media sites, YouTube, LinkedIn, X and Instagram to learn more.
WOMEN IN NORTH AMERICAN AQUACULTURE SUMMIT 2024
On September 5, 2024, members of the Women in Caribbean Aquaculture will be joining for the first time, WINAA on a panel to discuss the roles of women in Caribbean Aquaculture. I am proud of the Women of WiCA who over the last years have worked together to promote aquaculture in the Caribbean. Even more so although we come from different Islands, some of us have never met in person yet we continue to connect on a regular basis, virtualy since 2022.
