Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This volume addresses the potential for combining large-scale marine aquaculture of macroalgae, molluscs, crustaceans, and finfish, with offshore structures, primarily those associated with energy production, such as wind turbines and oil-drilling platforms. The volume offers a comprehensive overview and includes chapters on policy, science, engineering, and economic aspects to make this concept a reality. The compilation of chapters authored by internationally recognized researchers across the globe addresses the theoretical and practical aspects of multi-use, and presents case studies of research, development, and demonstration-scale installations in the US and EU.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 ...

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offshore aquaculture, or mariculture, is a new industry that has great economic potential for the United States. With the California being the third largest state in the country and having a coastline that stretches 840 miles, a viable ocean management plan can make use of the California coastal zone by accommodating the many maritime industries and stakeholders that can benefit from such a plan. The solution to this dilemma is for the federal government to begin building a regulatory framework that incorporates Marine Spatial Planning (MSP). Some European countries have already begun creating viable spatial planning of their coastal zones that have provided the state with both political and economic benefits. California has been importing more than half of its seafood from Asian countries for some years now. China is a model for aquaculture in that region that incidentally is also the biggest seafood exporter to California and the United States. The United States has strangely fallen behind the aquaculture industry for a number of reasons. Although there is some valuable research that has studied the effects of aquaculture, further research is necessary to truly estimate the environmental impacts of offshore aquaculture, the development of responsible and sustainable methods, and the absence of a federal framework combining MSP and aquaculture are all explanations for the shortage of coastal legislation. Until NOAA, the United States Coast Guard, and other federal agency stakeholders make their recommendations for MSP, the aquaculture industry in California and the United States will be slow and ineffective.

Book excerpt: Many freshwater and coastal aquaculture facilities are currently operating in the United States and contributing seafood products to domestic and global markets. These types of aquaculture have become successful industries, however that success has not yet expanded into United States federal waters. Regulatory, economic, and political factors that might explain the lack of development of an aquaculture industry in the United States Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) beyond state waters were examined through available literature, semi-structured interviews, and case examples of offshore aquaculture development projects. Analysis showed that while economic and political factors have a definite influence on the development of offshore aquaculture, the greatest barriers to the growth of the industry in the United States are the lack of a rational and comprehensive federal regulatory framework for offshore aquaculture, and lack of explicit regulatory authority naming NOAA as the lead federal agency. Until these regulatory factors are addressed, development of offshore aquaculture in the United States will continue to be on a project-by-project and permit-by-permit basis. This case-by-case approach, by failing to address systematically important economic, political, jurisdictional, and ethical issues concerning the use of offshore waters for commercial aquaculture, is likely to continue to inhibit development of offshore aquaculture in the future. I conclude with a discussion of possible root causes for the lack of clear federal guidance with regard to offshore aquaculture, and I make recommendations for addressing the regulatory, economic and political factors that are inhibiting the development of offshore aquaculture in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Environmental organisations and fishermen generally have opposed development of offshore aquaculture. They assert that poorly regulated aquaculture development in inshore areas has degraded the environment and harmed wild fish populations and ecosystems. Those who oppose aquaculture development generally advocate for new authorities to regulate off-shore aquaculture and to safeguard the environment and other uses of offshore waters. Some segments of the commercial fishing industry also have expressed concerns with potential development of aquaculture on fishing grounds and competition between cultured and wild products in domestic markets. This book looks at the issues dealing with offshore aquaculture and fisheries."--Provided by publisher.
