New Hampshire Open Ocean Aquaculture Demonstration Site

Document format: PDF

Publisher: NOAA

Creation date: Not Dated

Over the last decade, there has been significant innovation in aquaculture technology, which has led to improvements in equipment and environmental safeguards. Research funded by NOAA shows that aquaculture in open ocean environments can work well with proper siting and the use of current best management practices. For example, the open ocean aquaculture operations established in the Unites States in the last 10 years are showing good production and environmental results. These operations, which use submerged cage systems for finfish and submerged rope culture for shellfish, are sited in state waters in New Hampshire, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii.
