\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Aquaculture Facility<\/a><\/strong> at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML) is centered around the recently-dedicated MLML Aquaculture Facility<\/a><\/strong> and involves faculty members and researchers from throughout the CSU, as well as a range of industry and outreach partners. In April 2015 we received a grant from the Council on Ocean Affairs, Science, and Technology (COAST) Strategic Investment Program to develop a funding strategy and a research and curricular plan for the MLML Aquaculture Facility<\/a><\/strong>. The grant ran from July 2015 to December 2016, included co-investigators from MLML, San Diego State University and Cal State East Bay and was led by MLML\u2019s Prof. Mike Graham.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
