Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Minister of Agriculture Uri Ariel visited the National Mariculture Center (Lehi) in Eilat on Monday, following yesterday's approval of a plan to establish Eilat's status as an international research and application center in the field of sea food, mariculture and marine biotechnology.
Netanyahu said, "This is the food of the future. The technology is fantastic. We have decided to invest tens of millions of shekels here, first of all to launch the study, and later, together with Minister Uri, to bring in other global economic companies. Many countries want this."
