Maine is home to the nation's first registered Seaweed and Shellfish Aquaculture Apprenticeship and Pre-Apprenticeship programs. "Tending the Tides" follows the journeys of the young people participating in these programs as they build meaningful careers on the water. Through hands-on training and dedicated mentorship, these future sea farmers are gaining the skills and experience they need to succeed in Maine’s growing aquaculture industry, while helping to sustain and strengthen the state’s working waterfronts.
