An undergraduate student stands in front of an photo booth exhibit with a kampachi fish prop. The photo booth background features a food truck on a Hawai'i roadside and showcases Hawai'i-grown aquaculture species on the pretend chalkboard menu, including mullet, oysters, and kampachi. During my internship, I supported an outreach event to share information about careers at NOAA and aquaculture. Here you can see me at NOAA’s aquaculture photo booth with a cardboard kampachi, a fish grown on Hawai‘i Island. This event helped families learn about different types of aquaculture in the Pacific Islands region. Credit: NOAA Fisheries/Celeste Hanley
