Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth and worldwide expansion of intensive aquaculture production over the past few decades has significantly increased the presence of aquaculture activities in estuarine and coastal waters, as well as the share of aquacultured products in the food supply. Negative experience with, and concern over the environmental impacts of intensive aquaculture practices, particularly those of shrimp and carnivorous finfish farming, and more recently of finfish ranching, has grown in parallel with industry expansion, leading, in turn, to an intensification in the debate over the appropriate substance, approach, and scope of industry regulation. The core of the debate over aquaculture regulation lies in the clash between a strong conviction among industry promoters that aquaculture is already over-regulated, and the reality of accumulating evidence that in spite of growing negative experiences with current intensive practices, relatively little has been learned and achieved in addressing various environmental implications of different types of aquaculture. A thorough and reflective understanding of the existing legal and regulatory system is a key factor in conducting and sustaining an informed and participatory discussion on the future of intensive aquaculture in the U.S., and on formulating societal expectations for industry environmental performance. This report aims to contribute towards the building and consolidation of such an understanding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquaculture (AQ) -- the raising of fish and shellfish in captivity -- has been confined to near-shore coastal waters or in other water bodies that fall under state regulation. Recently, there has been interest in expanding AQ to offshore waters, which would involve raising fish and shellfish in the open ocean, and consequently bringing these types of operations under fed. regulation. No comprehensive legislative or regulatory framework to manage such an expansion exists. Instead, multiple federal agencies have authority to regulate different aspects of offshore AQ under a variety of laws. This report identifies key issues that should be addressed in the development of an effective regulatory framework for U.S. offshore AQ. Illus.

Book excerpt: U.S. aquaculture -- the raising of fish and shellfish in captivity -- has generally been confined to nearshore coastal waters or in other water bodies, such as ponds, that fall under state regulation. Recently, there has been an increased interest in expanding aquaculture to offshore waters, which would involve raising fish and shellfish in the open ocean, and consequently bringing these types of operations under federal regulation. While the offshore expansion has the potential to increase U.S. aquaculture production, no comprehensive legislative or regulatory framework to manage such an expansion exists. Instead, multiple federal agencies have authority to regulate different aspects of offshore aquaculture under a variety of existing laws that were not designed for this purpose. In this context, GAO was asked to identify key issues that should be addressed in the development of an effective regulatory framework for U.S. offshore aquaculture. In conducting its assessment, GAO administered a questionnaire to a wide variety of key aquaculture stakeholders; analyzed laws, regulations, and key studies; and visited states that regulate nearshore aquaculture industries. Although GAO is not making any recommendations, this review emphasizes the need to carefully consider a wide array of key issues as a regulatory framework for offshore aquaculture is developed. Agencies that provided official comments generally agreed with the report ...

This much-needed book provides a three-part guide to the complex regulatory landscape. The expert contributors first review the international legal dimensions, including chapters on law of the sea, trade, and access and benefit sharing. Part Two offers regional perspectives, discussing the EU and regional fisheries management organizations. The final part contains eleven case studies exploring how leading aquaculture producing countries have been putting sustainability principles into practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.

Download or read book Marine Aquaculture written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal farming and ocean ranching of marine fish, shellfish, crustaceans, and seaweed are a major and growing industry worldwide. In the United States, freshwater aquaculture is rapidly becoming a significant commercial activity; however, marine aquaculture has lagged behind. This book examines the obstacles to developing marine aquaculture in the United States and offers specific recommendations for technology and policy strategies to encourage this industry. The volume provides a wealth of information on the status of marine aquacultureâ€"including comparisons between U.S. and foreign approaches to policy and technology and of the diverse species under culture. Marine Aquaculture also describes problems of coordination of regulatory policy among various federal, state, and local government agencies and escalating competition for the use of coastal waters. It addresses environmental concerns and suggests engineering and research strategies for alleviating negative impacts from marine aquaculture operations.

Book excerpt: Today, aquaculture in federal waters is among the most talked-about technologies associated with the future of seafood production in the United States. In a report to Congress, the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy recommended that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) develop a comprehensive, environmentally sound permitting and regulatory program for marine aquaculture. This book reviews research on the effect on U.S. offshore aquaculture of global and national trends in seafood supply and demand, other factors that affect market prices, such as the cost of feed and technology, social factors, government regulations and useful models from other food segments of the U.S. economy and others.
