U.S. Marine Aquaculture Production

  • Marine

Aquaculture is steadily increasing

Aquaculture is a tool for rebuilding species

  • Aquaculture is a rebuilding strategy for 3 of 8

NOAA priority endangered species

  • White Abalone
  • Pacific Salmon (central CA Coho)
  • Atlantic Salmon
  • Large scale oyster restoration in Chesapeake

Bay and elsewhere

  • Stock enhancement- Pacific salmon

Constraints to U.S marine aquaculture development

Complicated costly regulatory process High costs of recirculating systems High coastal land values No regulatory framework for federal waters Traditional agency mandates

Benefits

  • Create jobs, boosts U.S. seafood production
  • Model framework for other regions (Pacific

Islands, Mid Atlantic?)

  • NOAA Final Rule issued January 2016
  • Resolves fisheries issues
  • Coordinated permit process with EPA (discharge) and Army

Corps (location, navigation)

  • Allows up to 20 farms and 39,000 tons of production
  • Candidate species: Red Drum, Cobia, Yellowtail, Red Snapper
