To help meet that demand, aquaculture is growing rapidly worldwide, but very slowly in the United States, though the United States is a major importer of cultured seafood. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe reason for this, along with the challenges of improving aquaculture practices, will be explored in an upcoming lecture by Barry A. Costa-Pierce, Rhode Island Sea Grant director, äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ professor of fisheries and aquaculture, and author of the award-winning book, Ecological Aquaculture: The Evolution of the Blue Revolution. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u201cI support the rapid expansion of aquaculture, but believe it must be accomplished through a science-based \u2018ecological aquaculture\u2019 model that incorporates ecological principles with planning for social, economic, and environmental impacts. Expansion of industrial aquaculture in enclosed bays along crowded coasts and rivers in conflict with coastal communities is not the way to develop the \u2018blue revolution,\u2019\u201d Costa-Pierce says. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nCosta-Pierce will be speaking on \u201cThe Blue Revolution\u201d on Tuesday, October 5, at 7 p.m. at the Warwick Public Library, 600 Sandy Lane. For information or directions, call the library at (401) 739-5440. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nSponsored by the Rhode Island Sea Grant College Program at äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ and the library, this lecture is offered as part of the annual nationwide Coastweeks celebration\u2014dedicated to fostering awareness, understanding, and improved management of the coast.
