Block Corporate Salmon
Block Corporate Salmon aims to halt genetically engineered salmon. Biotech giant AquaBounty Technologies has concocted a salmon species that bypasses indigenous rights and could ravage wild fish salmon populations. Meanwhile, global food corporations like Cargill are spending big money to pass legislation so dirty, industrial fish farms get unchecked access to federal waters.
Don't Cage Our Oceans
Powerful corporations and agribusiness giants are pushing to bring industrial fish farms into U.S. federal ocean waters. The MARA Act could make that possible — but our Don’t Cage Our Oceans coalition is fighting back against this and other legislative threats.
Aquaculture Atlas
Not all aquaculture is the same! Industrial methods bring about harm, while values-based methods support local livelihoods and benefit marine ecosystems. The Aquaculture Atlas is a collaborative project to advance this approach by connecting small-scale aqua farmers, researchers, policymakers, and communities to share knowledge and tools and grow a thriving seafood economy.
Catch Share Reform Coalition
NAMA is working with a coalition of fishermen and coastal community stakeholders across the nation to highlight the problems created by the privatization of fishing rights through the implementation of catch share programs.
