NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service today announced the release of a summary report for Alaska Aquaculture Opportunity Area Spatial Planning Workshops.
NMFS Alaska Regional Aquaculture Coordinator Alicia Bishop said that input received from the workshops held earlier this year “have allowed NOAA to focus engagement and follow up on data leads,” adding that NMFS has “begun to fill in the data gaps for the Alaska Aquaculture Opportunity Area spatial analysis.”
NOAA expects to release draft Aquaculture Opportunity Area spatial analysis for public comment early next year.
