Eckley said she is enthused by the creation of the advisory committee. “The committee is really good, because it is a composite of the industry, and helps with the team-mentality so we can work together.” She also made another observation about gov ernmental support and obstruction in job crea tion, and the messages governmental and state leaders have been sending to students (of all ages) seeking to increase their chances of becom ing employable. “A lot of kids are going to college and arc being given the belief that there are these (aqua cultural) jobs out there," Ecklcy said, “but (the job market) really is tight. “Wc provide some, but there arc a lot of appl icants out there. There’s a lot of competition. (The new law) may allow for the creation of more jobs in the fields that students arc being persuaded to pursue. “They are going to school to be educated for it, and they should have some place to go to find work,” she said. “I think the law is going to help, and I think aquaculture is going to continue to grow and become a more viable segment of the state’s agri cultural industry,” she said. “It can help rebuild the economic foundation for die state, provide jobs, and also provide safe and reliable sources of food.” For more information on Pennsylvania aqua culture, call Dunn at (717) 783-8462, fax (717) 787-1858.
