<\/a>Diving Into Aquaponics!<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

STEAM Team Ocean Xplorers very first monthly program, Diving into Aquaponics<\/em>, was an incredible afternoon filled with learning, exploration and hands-on experiences as youth dove into the world of aquaponics and discovered the wonders of this innovative farming technique at the Belfast Free Library. With wide-eyed enthusiasm, youth from Waldo County witnessed the magic of nature’s interconnectedness as they learned about different tank systems and discovered the art of nutrient cycling, all while gaining a deeper appreciation for the ocean and its inhabitants.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
The more than two dozen participants of the STEAM Team Ocean Xplorer multi-series program also eagerly took on the task of maintaining their own aquaponics system as each one got to take home their own mini tanks at the end of the event!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The next event, titled What Makes a Fish a Fish?<\/em>, will be held Nov. 30 from 3:30-5 p.m. at the Belfast Free Library.<\/div>\n
