Ahous Business Corporation (ABC) was incorporated by the Ahousaht First Nation to drive economicdevelopment that is socially and culturally appropriate. ABC has a keen interest in sustainable aquaculture andwould like to develop a new economically and environmentally beneficial kelp aquaculture enterprise. Thegoals of this project are to inform ABC of the kelp production potential and cultivation requirements specific totheir tenure locations, and to provide ABC staff with kelp aquaculture skills training. The project will comparesugar kelp (Saccharina latissima) growth, tissue quality, and nutrient composition at two sites in ClayoquotSound, British Columbia (off the west coast of Vancouver Island). One site is a vacant aquaculture tenureowned by ABC; the second site, approximately 700 m away, is an operational salmon farm owned by CermaqCanada - a close partner of ABC and a collaborator on this project. The training and results from this projectwill build capacity within ABC by developing a new environmentally sustainable revenue stream with newemployment opportunities. Kelp aquaculture development will also help strengthen the partnership betweenABC and Cermaq Canada.

阿胡斯商业公司(ABC)由阿胡萨赫特第一民族成立，目的是推动符合社会和文化需要的经济发展。ABC对可持续水产养殖有着浓厚的兴趣，并希望开发一种新的经济和环境有益的海带水产养殖企业。该项目的目标是向ABC通报其任职地点的海带生产潜力和养殖要求，并为ABC员工提供海带水产养殖技能培训。该项目将在不列颠哥伦比亚省Clayoquot Sound(温哥华岛西海岸外)的两个地点比较海带的生长、组织质量和营养成分。其中一个地点是一个空置的水产养殖场，归ABC所有；第二个地点在大约700米之外，是加拿大Cermaq公司经营的三文鱼养殖场，Cermaq Canada是ABC的亲密合作伙伴，也是该项目的合作者。该项目的培训和成果将通过开发新的环境可持续收入来源和新的就业机会，在农业银行内建设能力。海带水产养殖的发展也将有助于加强ABC和Cermaq Canada之间的伙伴关系。
