My guest today is Jeff Auger. Jeff is the director of Business Growth and Acquisitions for Atlantic Aqua Farms – one of North Americas largest growers, processor and distributor of high-quality shellfish. I wanted to know what Jeff, who is based in Maine – and focused primarily on oyster farming - thought about aquaculture practices that are currently in use. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/tales-of-the-sea-6317921/episodes/can-the-sea-help-meet-the-needs-of-a-growing-planet/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/tales-of-the-sea-6317921/can-the-sea-help-meet-the-needs-of-a-growing-planet.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
