How is Fish Navy funded ?
Fish Navy is a lean organization. Funds raised from government and foundation grants are pooled with contributions from individual donors. As the farm is developed, substantial revenue is anticipated from product sales. Additional revenue may accrue from consulting activity and from the visitor center. Operational funding for the companys first year has been provided by the founder. Fish Navy is applying to WSARE (Western Sustainable Research and Education, a USDA program) to support some of the core research and education tasks at the first Aquaponic Energy Farm. Similar applications are being made to a variety of private foundations and to other government grant programs. Fish Navys goal is to raise approximately two to three hundred thousand dollars per year for 2005-2006. 2004 Fish Navy, Inc. All rights reserved.
