Aquaculture
Megan Davis’ fascination for the ocean began as a young girl collecting shells along the beaches of her native Australia. After moving to Florida, she sailed many summers to the Bahamas with her family. These activities cemented her passion for the ocean and sea life, especially, the queen conch. After graduating with a a bachelor’s degree in aquaculture and environmental science, she headed to the Turks and Caicos Islands for 10 years. There, she became a co-founder and chief scientist for the world’s first conch farm. Over the past decades, Megan has combined her strengths in aquaculture, fisheries, marine science, education and business to lead several team projects throughout the Caribbean and Florida. She graduated with her Ph.D. from Florida Institute of Technology and joined FAU Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in 1996. Megan is a Research Professor in the Aquaculture and Stock Enhancement Program. She enjoys combining her hobby for cooking with sharing information about healthy food choices, which include sustainable seafood and sea vegetables.
