Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
The overall objective of the Mariculture Research and Restoration Consortium is to support restoration, habitat enhancement, and economic development through research and partnerships between scientists and seaweed and shellfish farmers. This suite of applied research components takes a farm-centered approach to address Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council restoration, economic development, outreach, administration, and data management interests that overlap top priorities identified by stakeholders and the Alaska Mariculture Development Plan developed by the Alaska Governor's Mariculture Task Force.
Results will inform shellfish and seaweed production, with farmers as full participants in the research. Technology transfer and training for new and existing farmers will investigate farm designs and support industry growth, bringing green jobs and economic diversification to coastal communities in the oil spill affected area. Ecosystem studies will evaluate the role of mariculture in restoring and enhancing coastal ecosystems.
