I own a vertically integrated oyster farm.
Here's the first step for high school students
Pursuing an aquaculture degree in college is the most direct path into this industry. However, if you don't have an aquaculture degree, I recommend reaching out to different farms and hatcheries to inquire about any opportunities that could work for you. It's often difficult for farms like ours to post hiring forms and get people out here, so reaching out yourself is a great option.
