Through interactive games and hands-on activities, visitors can test their skills as a fish farmer, learn about Indigenous aquaculture practices, and meet Canadian producers raising salmon, oysters, and kelp. The exhibition also examines the challenges and opportunities facing aquaculture and highlights how research and traditional knowledge are helping build a more sustainable future.
