Technology, Climate, and the Evolution of Aquaculture in Maine

Season 2 · Episode 3

Monday, July 7, 2025 • Duration 32:21

What does it take to build a thriving aquaculture industry along one of the most rugged coastlines in the country? In this episode of Salty Talks, we delve into the evolution of aquaculture in Maine with marine scientist Dr. Damian Brady, exploring everything from salmon pens and oyster farms to kelp lines and satellite data. But Damian doesn’t just study aquaculture, he helps train the people who will shape its future. We discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the industry, the technologies transforming aquaculture, and why embedding students directly into coastal industries is essential for the next generation of marine science. From hatcheries to harbor masters, climate adaptation to community buy-in, this episode tells the story of a coastal economy in motion and the people making it possible.

Learning the Ropes: Inside Maine's First Aquaculture Boot Camp

Season 2 · Episode 2

Friday, March 21, 2025 • Duration 23:41

In this episode, we head to the Darling Marine Center on the coast of Maine to experience the first-ever Aquaculture Boot Camp—an intensive training program designed to equip the next generation of aquaculture farmers and professionals with hands-on maritime skills.

Offered by the Maine Aquaculture Hub in partnership with aquaculture in shared waters, and funded in part by congressional support through Senators King and Collins, this week-long boot camp immerses students in critical aquaculture skills—handling boats, navigation, knot-tying, mooring design, oyster farming, kelp cultivation, and boat trailering.

Hear directly from instructors and students about why hands-on training is crucial for Maine’s working waterfront and how building practical skills translates into confidence, safety, and future success in aquaculture.
