Youth Innovation – Aquaculture Science & Technology for NL Youth
In the spring of 2011, NAIA and the Marine Institute of MUN initiated a project entitled Youth Innovation – Aquaculture Science
and Technology for NL Youth. The purpose of the project was to help promote innovative projects and activities that enrich the
existing school learning environment and improve recruitment potential into the aquaculture industry. During this project,
a series of aquaculture business and career profiles were created for NAIA’s & Marine Institute’s online resources
to illustrate potential business options and successful career paths in the NL aquaculture industry. You can view these profiles on
the following page entitled: Real People, Real Careers at http://naia.ca/careers/real-people-real-careers/.
Also, a series of aquaculture science and technology modules were compiled which will assist and encourage students to complete
innovative projects and activities within their school curriculum. Pilot testing for these salmonid and mussel sector resources then
took place at Bay d’Espoir Academy in Milltown, and King Academy in Harbour Breton. The anticipated outcome of this project is
to help educate our youth and encourage them to study in an area related to aquaculture which may enable them to live and work
in their home province. NAIA, in partnership with Marine Institute will participate in various events throughout the province in
efforts to help fulfill these objectives. Website linkages and aquaculture educational materials for sharing information and resources
is now available through both the NAIA and Marine Institute website at www.naia.ca and/or www.mi.mun.ca.
