Ottawa is shelling out $163,000 to strengthen the B.C. aquaculture industry and coastal communities.
Vancouver Island University’s Centre for Shellfish Research, already a national leader in its field, together with the B.C. Growers Association, received $120,000 to conduct a program to develop a prototype for a new high-quality shellfish raft.
“This money will help us improve our technology for a new raft prototype,” said Don Tillapaugh, director of the Centre for Shellfish Research. “And in turn the coastal communities economies will benefit from that technology.”
