This project was completed for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to provide an evaluation of state and federal regulatory policies concerning offshore aquaculture. A sample consisting of eleven coastal states and territories was investigated. Archival research and interviews were conducted to gather detailed information on each state. Recommendations were synthesized to improve federal aquaculture regulations for the Exclusive Economic Zone. A model state was proposed as a means of conveying recommendations for state aquaculture policies.
