This innovation-focused campus features state-of-the-art research, pilot- and commercial-scale aquaculture systems that recycle 100% of their saltwater. Traditional aquaculture uses large quantities of high-quality water that is discharged after minimal use. Water is globally recognized as a valuable and limited commodity, so Mote scientists develop technologies to clean and reuse this resource to its maximum potential.<\/p>\n<p>MAP, located nearly 20 miles away from any large body of water, demonstrates how sustainable recirculating aquaculture can succeed inland.<\/p>\n<p>Two Mote programs closely involved with this campus are the <a href=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/research\/program\/marine-freshwater-aquaculture\/\">Marine &amp; Freshwater Aquaculture Research Program<\/a>\u00a0and our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/research\/program\/fisheries-ecology-enhancement\/\">Fisheries Ecology &amp; Enhancement Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, MAP has housed a diverse array of successful Mote research, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Decades of groundbreaking studies on breeding, rearing and responsibly releasing common snook, a popular sportfish vulnerable to environmental challenges.<\/li>\n<li>Spawning and rearing technologies for a wide range of other species, including Pacific snook, Florida pompano, southern flounder, greater amberjack, red drum, red snapper, zebrafish, abalone, shrimp, hard corals and long-spined sea urchins.<\/li>\n<li>New efforts to help develop a food source for the future: cultivated seafood made by culturing cells.<\/li>\n<li>Marine aquaponics systems that successfully raise red drum together with sea purslane, an edible sea vegetable.<\/li>\n<li>Studies on oil spill impacts to fish health in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8230; and more!<\/p>\n<p>This also campus includes the Ron and Marla Wolf Aquaponics Center (made possible by the generous support of the Wolf Foundation), which was recently established to expand Mote&#8217;s successful research with marine aquaponics: raising saltwater fish and plants together in a sustainable, closed-loop system. The Wolf Aquaponics Center is designed to help Mote demonstrate the economic feasibility of sustainable, marine aquaponics at a scale relevant to commercial farms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aquaculture Facilities at MAP Mote Aquaculture Research Park (MAP) includes about 15 acres of buildings situated on 200 acres of land originally purchased through a decisive investment by Mote Scientific&nbsp;<span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8849,"parent":1026,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-10855","location","type-location","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>MAP Aquaculture Facilities | Mote Marine Laboratory &amp;
