By: Worldwide Aquaculture, LLC Bevan Suits of Decatur, GA and Dr. Wayne Dorband of Loveland, CO are forming Worldwide Aquaculture, LLC to promote the technology and all that it offers as a way to grow food as well as local economies based on food. Mr. Suits is an industrial designer and the author of The Aquaponics Guidebook, a comprehensive e-book that is selling around the world, with highly favorable reviews. He is developing a range of aquaponics products and systems that range from tabletop to farm-sized. His website, www.accesstoaquaponics.com, offers a one-stop source for all who are new to the concept. Dr. Dorband, who has a PhD in aquaculture, is widely known for his entrepreneurial work in industrial brownfield property development. He has launched various investment and risk management firms that continue to thrive. His assets include many acres of property and industrial sites across Colorado and the US.

Dr. Dorband has over 35 years of experience in the aquaculture industry, and has pioneered work on many aquaculture ventures through the years including; riparian vegetation nursery production, tilapia production in geothermal water, ornamental fish production, aquaculture in power plant effluents, and retail fish sales. Another entity that Dorband helps manage in Loveland, along with a 3rd partner, Scott Fardulis, is the nonprofit Institute of Ecolonomics (IOE), originally founded by the late actor Dennis Weaver. According to its website, IOE is “a leading environmental and economic applied research and deployment organization which places a values-based and balanced emphasis on economic and environmental concerns.” The team is focusing on developing multimedia communications that train sectors of industry on practical methods of saving money while “going green”.
