Belfast Area High School Marine Institute students recently chartered a boat to take them out to a working kelp farm off Islesboro in preparation for the Marine Institute's own kelp production plans.
This new initiative will include a wet-lab on school grounds, cooperation and connection with Troy Howard Middle School and other area schools, and the development of an economic business model to eventually help subsidize costs.
For more information, visit the BAHS Marine Institute website or contact BAHS Marine Institute staff members Jessica Woods, Dave Thomas, Danielle Bowler, Liz Small, Lisa White or Chip Lagerbom.
