Dan has served on numerous local, state, and federal organizations to help steer the aquaculture industry into the future, and has farmed the ocean for more than a decade off the coast of Oak Bluffs, Martha’s Vineyard, MA, utilizing the cutting edge ‘3D farm’ method of growing oysters in bottom cages with seaweeds and blue mussels in the surface waters above.
