Ocean Springs home of unique program

OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. — Ocean Springs High is home to the state’s only aquaculture program, where students study the breeding, growing and harvesting of plants and animals in water environments. The program, in its second year, will eventually be a three-year program. The first year, more than 150 students applied. Just 45 were chosen. Next year, third-year students in the program will be able to do work at the University of Southern Mississippi’s Gulf Coast Research Lab in Ocean Springs. (Source: Sun Herald, 01/28/16)
