Cultivating sea cucumber aquaculture in Panama

In this episode of Upwell, we speak with David Grossman, the founder and CEO of PanaSea, an aquaculture company based in Panama that established the first open-ocean sea cucumber hatchery in the Americas. 

In the conversation, we consider the impact of sea cucumbers on marine ecosystems and their key role in ocean conservation, the rapidly scaling aquaculture sector and blue economy, and the importance of community-based approaches to sustainable commerce.
