PD/A CRSP trainees in Thailand conduct outreach in conjunction with estuarine water quality monitoring. While the field of aquaculture is still dominated by men, the Pond Dynamics/Aquaculture CRSP has been a strong advocate for increasing human capacity of women as well as men in developing countries. Over 30% of CRSP trainees since the program's inception in 1983 have been women. |
| Charles Wariua and students Enos Were and Charles Achiudo (Moi University graduate students) learn fish management skills during internships with the PD/A CRSP Kenya Project. Sagana Fish Farm is an integral part of aquaculture education in Central Kenya. It serves as an important research base for graduate students. Students have come from numerous schools such as Moi University, the University of Nairobi, Kenyatta University, and Mombasa Polytechnic to utilize the farm's facilities. In addition, Sagana Fish Farm serves as a learning laboratory for primary and secondary students. Recently, the farm hosted 39 schools, educating over 900 students in just a six-month period. Adult extension work is also a focus for the farm, which hosts workshops in topics ranging from fish preparation to pond construction and management. Audiences include Sagana Women's Group, District Fisheries Officers, farmers, and local community members. Through educating important aquaculture stakeholders, Sagana can become an even more productive, efficient, and environmentally conscious player in the aquaculture field. |
