Hi Everyone,
I recently received approval from my municipality in Massachusetts for a 3 acres area for Sugar Kelp. I have been trying to navigate the state and federal approvals I may need. How did everyone figure out the correct steps and submissions?
Thanks,
Jared
@jared_waitkus94 You can get started here with info about permitting for your State:

If you have questions about the process reaching out to the permitting agency can be a helpful strategy to figure out how to navigate the process.
@jared_waitkus94 Hey Jared, I just logged in here for the first time in a while. We're up on the north shore and got stuck at the state (DMF) permitting level but may try to hack it again. I probably don't know much more than you at this point (or maybe I do?) but I might have some contacts that you need... feel free to email me at hilarykd@gmail.com (because I might not remember to login here).

@jared_waitkus94 Hi Jared, I might be able to help. Shoot me a message and we'll find a time to connect.
@jared_waitkus94 Hi Jared, im in CT. A good starting point here is the state DEEP office, bureau of aquaculture. perhaps Mass has the same or similar dept. Aqua operates as a subset of the dept of Agriculture here. If you dont get anywhere there, Army Corp has a permit for you to work on also.
