Alicia is the owner of Nauti Sisters Sea Farm, a small scale oyster farm on the Royal River in Yarmouth. Alicia is the oldest of 3 girls in the Gaiero family and grew up in the quirky, beautiful town of Belfast.

During her senior year at the University of Maine, Alicia began the process of establishing her aquaculture farm. She manages her farm from early spring to late fall until the oysters are put to rest on the seafloor for overwintering.
