NOAA Sea Grant is to award of USD 11 million in grants this year for 22 projects to further advance the development of a sustainable marine and coastal aquaculture industry in the United States.

The research will address specific priorities of the initiative this year including, supporting the development of emerging systems or technology that will advance aquaculture in the US, developing and implementing actionable methods of communicating accurate, science based information about the benefits and risks of US marine aquaculture to the public; and increasing the resiliency of aquaculture systems to natural hazards and changing conditions.

The projects, which will be conducted over a three year period, include a 50 per cent match by non-federal partners. One hundred proposals were submitted requesting a total in USD 48 million in federal grant funds, NOAA reported.

The list of approved projects is the following:

  • An integrated approach to addressing sea lice control in the commercial culture of Atlantic salmon (Maine Sea Grant: USD 725,365);
