Sustainability Problem and Proposed Solution: 

Aquaponics is not something many people know about, which is especially surprising because at UCSC there are so many people interested in environmentally friendly farming and gardening. We want to counteract that lack of knowledge and support by designing, building and maintaining an experimental system in the Thimann greenhouse and developing an internship/experiential learning program that teaches students about this exciting method of water conservation in gardening.
