Our friends at the Bridgeport Regional Aquaculture School offer exciting programs to high school students including boat building, marine engineering, and aquaculture. Green technology in the maritime field has become a major focus of the school as demonstrated by the completion of a solar powered battery charging system.
To bring the classroom to the Sound, the school owns several research vessels including the 56’ “R/V Kaye Williams”. Named after Captain’s Cove founder, the vessel is a platform from which the students can take lessons learned in class to a working maritime environment. Just off the coast at Southport the school maintains a farm on which the students grow kelp.
Seafood lovers take note: scallops from the saltwater farm and fish raised by the school will soon be offered to the public at the restaurant/fish market in the new school addition.
