SUMMARY:Getting started with Aquaponics
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to aquaponics: how fish\, plants\, bacteria\, and system components work together to grow food. \n\n\n\n\nThis introductory course on aquaponics teaches the fundamentals of a sustainable food production method that combines aquaculture (raising fish) with hydroponics (growing plants without soil).

The class will also cover common fish and plant species used in aquaponics and provide practical insight into selecting and maintaining a balanced\, productive system. Perfect for beginners\, this course offers a solid foundation for anyone interested in growing fresh food through aquaponics. \n\n\n\n\nGetting started with aquaponics \nJoin us to learn the basics of Aquaponics.

SUMMARY:Waterway Warriors Group Cleanup Event - Location TBD
DESCRIPTION:Because trash travels with wind\, rain\, and human traffic patterns — and Waterway Warriors go where the need is greatest\, we don’t schedule our cleanup locations more than about two months in advance. This flexibility allows us to respond quickly to areas where trash is building up and make the biggest impact. \nWhat you can count on is the schedule: Waterway Warriors cleanups happen every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month somewhere in Brevard County.
