Wednesday morning- AQUAPONICS EXPLORATION!
After morning exercise and breakfast, we headed over to the
Island School Aquaponics center.
Aquaponics is a hybrid between hydroponics and aquaculture that allows
the school to grow herbs, salad greens, and tomatoes while also cultivating
Tilapia.
We helped out with chores around the center- some of us
seeded lettuce, basil, and parsley, others netted Tilapia, fed fish, or
harvested crops.
Once we had done our chores, we all gathered together to
Filet the Tialpia we had caught for use in the dining hall… we’ll be sure to
update you as to how it tastes!
