Holland students gave the ESEA sophomores some project parameters for budget, sensory plant material, and square footage. In particular, this project had students explore how recycling water could prevent runoff that harms ecosystems, as well as reduce our use of land for farming. They studied farming, water use, erosion, and chemical deterrents like pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides. The project was a component of the academy’s curriculum, which includes sustainable farming practices. The aquaponics project blends aquaculture (raising fish) and hydroponics (growing plants without soil) into one integrated system.ĮSEA students designed and built the system with energy efficiency at top of mind. Students in the Environmental Sustainability and Engineering Academy (ESEA) crafted a customized aquaponics system for the Holland Elementary School that has a geodome: an innovative, solar-supported space for students to explore systems, design, and plant life. Their aquaponics structure at Holland Township School is scheduled to be installed in time for a May 28 open house. Sophomores studying environmental sustainability have wrapped up a year-long project to recirculate water between fish and plant habitats. ESEA’s Aquaponics Project Ready for Public Eyes
