Aquaculture plays a growing role in our coastal economies, seafood systems, and working waterfronts. Get Aquacultured! aims to share stories from those who know aquaculture best. Each episode brings listeners into lively conversations with industry experts, practitioners, students, and educators working across the aquaculture landscape. From innovation and sustainability to community connections and education, the show breaks down big ideas, explores new perspectives, and tackles common misconceptions, all while keeping things engaging and accessible.

Three of the podcast’s hosts—Gabriela Bradt, Michael Chambers, and Michael Doherty—are members of the New Hampshire Sea Grant team, offering listeners real-world insight rooted in science, outreach, and on-the-water experience.

Listeners can expect conversations that highlight:

  • Cutting-edge innovations in sustainable seafood systems
  • How aquaculture supports local economies and coastal communities
