region and beyond, incorporate Good Aquaculture & Agriculture Practices (GAPs) into their production. The 12-minute video was filmed at Mari's Gardens, the largest commercial aquaponics farm on Oahu, and is being released as part of the CTSA "Aquaculture in
the Pacific Islands" video series. <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001YOJ1pncHzt_-WY9NAfRmLbPXNEAHPjnbFekowV_avdzFPcJfowfm1b7ljC90M9P9_-z7m8nax82Z01YztatdTCrYkf3gfGB4qx-SnvDHVIfQNqp9AW7LShtu4K19WKT2Kp9Rk7_EIG-EQBjQ-qWSspjT6IktoAw3BNYtfN8W3ksJAl8ZDjW7PA==&c=i3XmZx5TjrW1_Yl_-136PgLl2Qif0XYpXO9h4m24hgtxAQKCQAdQmQ==&ch=bK9jrzpucA_hMT-feY9k9pTUgnaonTxziPb0MW-JhEOIPUJ7LY-tsQ==" target="_blank"><span style="color:blue">Click
