Steven Hedlund is a veteran in the seafood industry with 20 years of experience in the industry. He has a deep understanding of the seafood value chain and sustainable seafood programs.

We sit down in and talk about the Global Aquaculture Alliance and their mission of feeding the world through responsible aquaculture. It’s exciting to hear the amount of investment being put into new aquaculture production systems and sustainable practices, how aquaponic growers can be more responsible on the aquaculture side and touch base on their aquaculture certification program (Best Aquaculture Practices). Jump in and hear about innovations in fish nutrition and the future of sustainable aquaculture!

Nicholas Metropulos is the Executive Director of Marine Education Initiative, a nonprofit organization based in Boca Raton, FL. Their mission is to educate and empower youth to safeguard marine ecosystems for the future.

They recently saw the opportunity to add an Aquaponic system to their nonprofit as part of their food security goals for South Florida. Hear how they are now able to donate 10 times the amount of food than their previous initiative  and how they are working to provide sustainable, high-quality meals to those that need it the most. Fun to hear from someone who after research, seeing the opportunity and despite the challenges jumped in to Aquaponics for impact.
