Open Ocean Aquaculture

IATP has been at the forefront of generating public discussion about, and mobilizing opposition against, open ocean aquaculture. This new form of industrial fish farming is being publicly funded and may soon become the major source of finfish production in the United States, yet its development is taking place under a veil of secrecy. The Institute has been one of the first organizations to recognize the potential pitfalls and address them in its open ocean aquaculture report.
