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

TrueFlies clothing believes passionately in preserving the wild spaces of Florida’s backcountry. We see our fish, flora and fauna not as objects placed here to amuse sportsmen, but rather for what they are—living creatures, each one as invaluable to the ecosystem as the next. Traversing our backcountry and interacting with these magnificent creatures is a privilege. Preserving this privilege for future generations of anglers is of great concern to us at TrueFlies. It is why we are proud to sponsor Project Snook.
