Aquaculture activity book

Wisconsin Sea Grant wanted to make a coloring and activity book to teach kids (middle and high schoolers) and adults about how fish are raised locally. They had the book all planned out and they needed illustrations for the cover and for the inside. This fun project led to a completed book that’s been a big seller and has provided a fun learning experience.

Wisconsin Aquaculture activity book cover

The cover and the interior pages were designed by Sarah Congdon at Wisconsin Sea Grant. We provided the illustrations so she could work with them to lay out the pages with the text and other details that were needed for this educational piece.
