This project was developed to provide the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration with an independent assessment of the stakeholder positions on U.S. aquaculture. It was found that most non-government organizations are in favor of environmentally and economically sustainable aquaculture. Stakeholders ideally want a third party to oversee all U.S. aquaculture operations. Appropriate science, guidelines, and management will allow aquaculture to alleviate pressures on wild fish stocks, create a year-round seafood supply, and be economically beneficial to the U.S.
