Industry Coalition Commends NOAA Plan to Expand Sustainable U.S. Aquaculture Production
Industry coalition Stronger America Through Seafood (SATS) today expressed its strong support for the National Seafood Strategy Implementation Plan released by NOAA Fisheries. The plan highlights the importance of increasing sustainable U.S. aquaculture production as part of a broader strategy to strengthen the U.S. seafood industry. SATS previously submitted a formal letter of support during the public comment period on NOAA’s National Seafood Strategy, advocating for many of the aquaculture objectives incorporated into the final plan.
This plan outlines critical steps that the agency is taking to support growth of an American aquaculture sector, which includes a focus on developing an efficient, predictable, timely and science-based regulatory framework for offshore fish farming in U.S. federal waters.
Key goals outlined in NOAA’s National Seafood Strategy Implementation Plan include:
- Accelerating progress on implementing an efficient, predictable, timely, and science-based regulatory framework for marine aquaculture
- leading the identification of Aquaculture Opportunity Areas (AOAs), or areas that are deemed ideal for fish farms based on relevant
- Continuing to invest in aquaculture science
Due to inefficient federal permitting processes in the U.S. today, our nation ranks only 18th in aquaculture production globally and imports up to 85% of its seafood – half of which is estimated to come from farms in other countries.

Aquaculture is highly valued in the United States and even other countries. Improving breeding conditions is an indispensable part of sustainable breeding. Sun Asia provides 7%~11% energy-saving bearings with various impeller numbers of paddlewheel aerator to supply various breeding areas. The patent blade design produces better water flow and dissolved oxygen, collocate with products such as automatic feeder or HDPE pond liner to improve the breeding environment.
