This grant is for the purpose of fostering an environmentally and economically sustainable aquaculture industry within the U.S. through the NIFA Aquaculture Research program. It seeks to achieve this by supporting the creation of new science-based information and technology designed to overcome current industry limitations. Projects funded under this initiative are expected to yield results that will enhance the profitability of the domestic aquaculture sector, contribute to reducing the U.S. trade deficit, and bolster national food security. Furthermore, the program aims to create new markets for U.S.-produced goods, expand investment opportunities in domestic aquaculture businesses, and generate additional employment in rural and coastal regions of America. This strategic investment supports robust growth in a vital agricultural sector.
