STORIES FROM THE SEA
Aquaculture Industry an Island Ambassador
Food is at the heart of every community and culture. When you think of France, you conjure images of wine, cheese, and baguettes. When you think of Germany, you might picture sausages and beer. When you think of Prince Edward Island, you think of shellfish.
Aquaculture Opportunities for Youth
For years, Karla Handrahan, a Grade 9 teacher at Hernewood Intermediate School in western PEI, had been hearing the same mantra from her students. Many felt that if they were not going to pursue post-secondary education, their only real option for employment was to move “out West” or somewhere other than Prince Edward Island.
PEI’s Original Farmer of the Sea
A massive part of identity on Prince Edward Island, our mussel industry is responsible for producing $45 million in exports annually and employing approximately 1,500 people. It wouldn’t be what it is today without the vision and persistence of one man, the pioneer of mussel farming on PEI, Joe Van Den Bremt.
