From one interesting place to the next! I got to
visit the Aquaculture Research Centre at IMET.

The scientists at IMET study the ocean and environment to be able to protect and restore it, as
well as make sure that people stay healthy and use the resources (something that is found in nature and can be used
by people. Earth's natural resources = light, air, water,
plants, animals, soil, stone, minerals, and fossil fuels.) in a way that makes sure that future generations (your children and their children) get to enjoy them too.
The research centre is 1 800 square metres of pumps, filters and tanks! The scientists can change all of the conditions that the animals live in like: lighting; water temperature; water pH; water flow; etc. This means that they can change the environment of the animal or plant that they are studying to suit any experiment. They make their own sea water and use ozone to keep it clean and disease-free for the finfish and shellfish that they study.
