Aquaponics in sw Florida?

Hey guys I've just learned about Aquaponics and am fascinated by it. Are there any places set up and running not too far from the Ft. Myers area?

I am only in town for a couple of days but thought it could have great applications in poorer countries. I know some people are doing it, but I'm from Chicago and would love to see the varieties of the system in a tropic climate, as I'm doing research on whether or not it would be possible to start a social business in Haiti using an Aquaponics based system.

I have a hobby system (128 sq ft of raft and 15 sq ft of flood and drain) in North Port. You can get a hold of me at sdcorbett@mailite.com

Good Luck,

Stephen
