Hey folks,
First post here. I am very interested in aquaculture, and especially in offshore aquaculture. I could be wrong, as I am just getting into the field, but from what I can tell, the future is offshore, which would seem to indicate a lot of potential for ocean engineering jobs. How many here work in the aquaculture field, and do you think that my assessment is accurate? How likely do you think it is for an explosion of offshore aquaculture in the near future, given the regulatory and overall economic climate in the US? Just trying to feel the field out to figure out my niche in the aquaculture world, and how I can most practically make my dreams of becoming a seaweed bioenergy tycoon a reality. I know that the Marine Biologist field is way over saturated, so I'm trying to figure something out that is related but would make me stand out from the crowd and help my job prospects overall. Although I plan on starting my own aquaculture business eventually, so employability is less of a concern than in depth knowledge of offshore cultivation system design. So any thoughts or recommendations here?
Thanks in advance.
