Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services - Aquaculture Division
Mission
Right around the time a barrel of oil was around $150 USD I stumbled upon an article from an "expert" saying that the solution to resolve hunger was to give more money to poor countries in order to buy more tractors and more agrochemicals! So wrong! Then a thought popped into mind: " Do something! No matter what! Anything is better than nothing! ". Mission: increasing awareness of hydroponics and aquaponics as key tools in fighting hunger around the world.

Hello everyone! How I got into hydroponics is a long story...let's just say that it involves a lot of tedious farm work as a child, unsuccessful 'dirt' gardens of my own and a near electrocution from a semi-submersible hydroponic pump. I've learned that hydroponic gardening is the only way to garden for me and I've been working at it for several years now. I've built ebb/flow, nft, Mittleider, wick and passive systems and I'm always on the lookout for the easiest and most efficient means of hydroponic gardening...If you have questions, I would be more than happy to answer them...
This web site is your introduction to the world of Florida aquaculture. It represents a compilation of information about a division in the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services-the Division of Aquaculture. The Division plays a key role in the regulation of aquaculture facilities and shellfish processing plants, is responsible for opening/closing of shellfish harvesting waters to protect human health, ensures the continued productivity of oyster reefs through a restoration program and issues leases of submerged state lands for aquaculture. The creation of this division is unprecedented for a state agriculture department. Florida's Division of Aquaculture is one-of-a-kind and serves a unique industry like no other in the United States. Please browse this site and learn more about Florida aquaculture. I welcome your comments on the topics contained in this web site.
Sincerely,
CHARLES H. BRONSON, COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE
