Aquaculture in the Classroom

Did you know that you could actively conserve and restore Chesapeake Bay flora and fauna by developing your very own aquaculture program at your school? Below are several ideas for exciting aquaculture projects:

Bay Grasses  

• Bay Grasses in Classes - Maryland Department of Natural Resources
• Grasses for the Masses - Chesapeake Bay Foundation

Horseshoe Crabs

• Raising Horseshoe Crabs in the Classroom - Maryland Department of Natural Resources
• Green Eggs & Sand Curriculum - Maryland Department of Natural Resources

• Student Oyster Corps - Chesapeake Bay Foundation
• Terrapins - Terrapins in the Classroom

NOTE : Maryland's Aquatic Resources Education Grant reimbursement program assists public and private schools (Grades K-12) and school systems by providing teacher training and funding for aquatic resource education projects. Learn more by visiting: Aquatic Resources Education Grants.
