‘Growing Your Food Through Aquaponics’

Humboldt Bay Aquatic Center

Explore North Coast and the Humboldt Bay Aquatic Center as co-sponsors invites the public to their Lecture Series featuring Dr. Rafael Cuevas Uribe. The title of Dr. Uribe’s presentation is “Growing your own food through aquaponics.” Aquaponics is an innovative, sustainable food production system that integrates hydroponics (soilless plant culture system) with a recirculating aquaculture system. It utilizes nutrient-rich effluent from the fish tanks as a resource in the hydroponic grow beds where plants take up this nutrient. This is a symbiotic relationship among fish, beneficial bacteria, and plants to grow food. This talk will present basic aquaponics concepts to help you develop your own backyard system. The lecture is scheduled for Monday, March 12th from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Humboldt Bay Aquatic Center located at 921 Waterfront Drive, Eureka. Admission is free. 

Dr. Rafael Cuevas Uribe received his M.S. in Aquaculture/Aquatic Science from Kentucky State University, and his Ph.D. from Louisiana State University. He has been an assistant professor at the Department of Fisheries Biology in HSU since Fall 2014.
