ECO gets out there into the community in so many ways to showcase the important role of aquaculture and enhances public understanding of the role that aquaculture can play in sustainable seafood practices.

If you’re a teacher interested in introducing topics like oyster farming and coastal ecosystems to your students, my advice is simple: Immerse yourself in learning more about the subject. The more enthusiastic and informed you are about the topic, the more engaged your students will be.

ECO Georgia has experienced a transformative year, marked by significant achievements in advocating for sustainable oyster farming, community engagement, and coastal ecosystem preservation. As the organization reflects on its milestones, it also looks forward to expanding its impact in 2025.
