NOAA
NOAA – the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – is an agency of the United States government. Its wide-ranging role includes shaping international ocean, fisheries, climate, space and weather policies.
NOAA’s many assets — including research programmes, vessels, satellites, science centres, laboratories and a vast pool of distinguished scientists and experts — are internationally recognised resources.
As the federal agency with responsibility for fisheries and US marine resources, NOAA’s role as a policymaker and regulator is critical to the development of the country’s aquaculture sector. Aquaculture operations must meet a number of federal, state, and local regulations that ensure environmental protection, water quality, and healthy oceans
In 2020, during the first Trump presidency, an Executive Order, Promoting American Seafood Competitiveness and Economic Growth, was issued calling for the expansion of sustainable US seafood production, but so far progress in developing an offshore fish farming sector at scale has ben slow.
