The future of aquaculture in California is complex but opportunity abounds. During a forum on Pathways Toward Responsible Aquaculture in California held at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories on 11 and 12 August 2018 more than 130 scientists, regulators, owners of aquaculture businesses, legislators, and NGOs participated in a wide-ranging discussion regarding the possibilities and challenges. Please use this link to view a summary of the meeting, agenda and abstracts, videos of all the talks, and other information and links related to this important forum on the future of aquaculture in California.
Aquaculture will be a major source of food and energy in the future. We help lead the way in developing a rigorous foundation and policy for aquaculture science and in training the workforce and leaders in sustainable aquaculture in California, the United States, and worldwide. Our new aquaculture program at MLML includes new facilities, instrumentation, personnel, and curriculum.
San Jose State University Research Foundation holds the title to the aquaculture facility, administers all the aquaculture research grants, and SJSU helps support a portion of the salary for the CA Sea Grant Extension Agent in aquaculture stationed at MLML. SJSU is a strong partner funding and supporting the aquaculture program at MLML.
