Widespread Support for Offshore Aquaculture

Today Show: How aquafarms combat climate change

Offshore aquaculture is used widely around the world to complement wild harvesting. In the U.S., offshore aquaculture is constrained by extraordinary regulatory hurdles, a misinformed public perception of environmental impact, and limited capital investment to improve the technology.

There is now widespread support from academics, environmentalists, seafood experts, and Members of Congress, from both sides of the aisle, to grow America’s offshore aquaculture industry. To achieve this, our focus is to secure passage of the bipartisan Advancing the Quality and Understanding of American Aquaculture (AQUAA) Act.
