Description:Oregon’s small marine aquaculture sector is characterized by a handful of small-scale shellfish and seaweed operations in estuarine and inland coastal areas. Oregon has vast natural resources and a largely undeveloped coastline, which may provide ample opportunities for expansion of sustainable marine aquaculture. Increasing the cultivation of various seafood products has the potential to boost economic growth and food security in rural coastal areas and decrease pressure on wild-caught fisheries and imports as the demand for seafood grows. Oregon Sea Grant is situated to provide outreach, engagement and research to support coastal communities, including aquaculture operations. To provide relevant resources, current information regarding the needs and barriers to sustainable aquaculture expansion is needed. The purpose of this report is to bring awareness to the status of the Oregon marine aquaculture industry, identify barriers to expansion from perspectives of multiple sectors, and highlight opportunities to support sustainable expansion with informed regulations that reduce environmental impacts. This report is split into two parts.
