Visiting this area is a very good learning experience for both adults and children who want to learn more about how important nature is for all of us, and the importance of protecting it.

Aquaculture:

Aquaculture is a huge part of Charlotte County life and has been so for centuries. Many residents make their livings on these waters. In your travels of the county you will see fish cages, weirs, lobster traps, scallop draggers, clam beds and more. Many of the seafood's that you purchase in stores come from these parts. Charlotte County is home to Connor's Brothers Limited, the largest producer of sardines. If you have ever purchased a Brunswick Sardine package from your grocer they are processed right in Charlotte County. Cooke's Aquaculture is also located in Charlotte County and is a large source of farm grown salmon. Thousands of salmon smolt are raised and harvested in aquaculture cages. Once the salmon are old enough they are processed and then distributed.
