    Hello from Brooklyn, NY

    Hello, I am in the process of learning all that I can about aquaponics. I'd like to eventually set up a non-profit aquaponic farm here in Brooklyn, with the goal of providing fresh fish and fresh produce year-round to urban residents who do not traditionally have access to healthful food. I know there is some interesting work being done by Martin Schreibman at Brooklyn College. Does anyone know of anyone else doing aquaponics In NYC?
    Thanks!!
