As the OSU-NU SAFE Project’s fish distribution continues, four elementary schools and one hospital will benefit tomorrow by receiving harvested fish to support the school feeding program and patients at the selected hospital. We anticipate harvesting and distributing between 3,000 kg and 5,000 kg of fish to the beneficiaries. The next harvests are scheduled for mid-February and March, respectively.
