I've been wondering about how ORA runs their propagation facilities. They do not give tours and are one of the biggest aquaculture facilities in the world if not the biggest. All I know about them is what I could dig up on their site, which isn't much. Here are some pics of their website.
"ORA will allow pre-arranged visits to our facility in Ft. Pierce, Florida. Please call in advance to make arrangements for any planned visit. We are located on the campus of Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, at the South Aquaculture Park.
Visitors may tour the packing facility and our sales office. Tours of the hatcheries ARE NOT ALLOWED.
The U.S. Coast Guard now considers HBOI an official Port of Entry. This is due to the research vessels that travel to and from international ports. Since we are designated by Homeland Security as a secure facility, we now require advance notice for visits."
