Marathon Aqua Ranch

Description:

•  The Aqua Ranch was conceptualized to advance the fields of aquaculture and sustainable fishing in the United States. We have designed a plan to educate the public through eco-tours and hands on participation throughout our facility.
  
  We have large tanks for displaying indigenous marine life which enable us to offer educational field trips and other sanctioned tours from around the country. We believe that children need to learn about the operations of fisheries and aquaculture for the food industry in light of our expected population growth in the coming generations. Uniting the fishing and aquaculture industries will help sustain wild fish stocks in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, as well as help ensure commercial fishing stays for generations to yet come. Being located in the Florida Keys facilitates the efforts of education through tourism as well as restocking fisheries in both waters.
