May 10, 2024 — Stronger America Through Seafood (SATS), a group representing the U.S. aquaculture industry, has put its support behind NOAA Fisheries’ aquaculture economic development plan, which is part of NOAA’s efforts to update its National Aquaculture Development Plan for the first time in more than 40 years.
The economic development plan stands as the third pillar of the National Aquaculture Development Plan and includes three strategic plans. The other two pillars – the Strategic Plan to Enhance Regulatory Efficiency in Aquaculture and the National Strategic Plan for Aquaculture Research – were completed in 2022.
