NAMA put together comments on NOAA’s proposed National Aquaculture Policy draft, in which we call the NOAA Aquaculture Program to task for not taking seriously enough the potential negative consequences of some marine and other aquaculture and for taking on the role of, in their own words, “enabling aquaculture development” in the US instead of regulating and managing it responsibly. The comments were submitted on behalf of nearly 40 organizations and individuals representing an impressive diversity of perspectives and opcupations.
