THE FUTURE OF FISH FARMING

The final episode of our Project Snook video series is about the future of Mote Aquaculture Research Park and fish farming in America. We get to meet the Vice President of Fisheries and Aquaculture for Mote Marine, Dr. Ken Leber PhD. He has fascinating knowledge of the fish industry in our country. He states, "84% of the seafood we eat in this country is imported." He believes aquaculture is the future. You can control the process. You have a secure process with control over the outcomes. If we don't begin to grow our food supply in this country, who knows what might happen. DONATE NOW

SNOOK RESEARCH GOES CORPORATE

Addictive Fishing visits Mote Aquaculture Park (MAP) to officially kick off - Project Snook - to raise funding and public awareness for Mote Marine’s snook hatchery program. Kevan Main and Carole Neidig from MAP greeted a group of representatives from Addictive Fishing, MPI Productions, and Dick’s Sporting Goods to graciously accept donations that will keep the doors open and the pumps running.

Just before New Year’s, Project Snook received some last minute donations that brought the year end figures to a staggering new grand total. Shortly after the ball dropped in the Big Apple, Mote Marine’s Center for Aquaculture Research and Development received a letter from the University of South Florida with very exciting news.

Blair Wiggins, and doing what he loves for a living. The fish gods have been very, very good to Kevin, his partner Capt. Blair Wiggins and Addictive Fishing, and now it's their turn to give back. The winter of 2010 will go down in Florida's history as one of the deadliest killers of the common snook - one of Florida's treasured indigenous game fish. In January and February, news of the snook kill traveled instantaneously over the internet. Graphic pictures and eyewitness reports flooded websites, and Kevin was left with an indelible mark on his mind.
