Attend a Public Listening Session on Aquaculture Opportunity Areas

As part of NOAA’s mission to foster ocean sustainability while facilitating domestic aquaculture growth, NOAA is working to identify Aquaculture Opportunity Areas. These areas were evaluated for their potential environmental, economic, and social suitability to support multiple commercial aquaculture operations. This process is rooted in science and public engagement that will help the U.S. plan for aquaculture development.

NOAA recently released two draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statements for Southern California and the Gulf of Mexico that bring us one step closer to identifying Aquaculture Opportunity Areas. Both draft documents are open for public comment.
