Aquaponics System Demonstration Unit

Project Description

This project wishes to create an aquapnics system that will work as a demonstrative unit on campus to spread sustainability awareness and illustrate the effectiveness of aquaponics in a small area. The goal of aquaponics is to create a closed ecosystem in which both plants and fish benefit and grow. Aquaponics has the potential to produce large quantities of both vegetables and fish with minimal inputs and nearly no negative outputs. The team's desire is to establish a base system from which the possibility to expand exists. This project will be student led and contain an educational element to aquaponics. This project is linked with the student sustainability course GCL 127.
