Shepherdstown Sustainable Seafood
For 30 years, The Conservation Fund’s Freshwater Institute has led the way in developing environmentally-friendly, land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) technology, which grows high-quality fish, recycles water, repurposes waste and can be produced anywhere. With its Aquaculture Research Lab, the Freshwater Institute has expanded its capacity to conduct cutting-edge research and development projects to help move the aquaculture industry forward and meet consumer demand for protein that is healthy, safe, and sustainable.
