Case Studies to Advance Regenerative Ocean Farming
-
Urban Ocean Lab, a think tank for coastal cities, just published two case studies on regenerative ocean farming as a part of their series on regenerative ocean farming to show their policy recommendations in action. The first case study looks at Deer Island Aquaculture Park in Biloxi, Mississippi, which was established to support workforce development and revitalize the local oyster industry. The second discusses seafood purchasing programs in New England that help increase demand for fresh, locally farmed seafood. Lots of links and additional resources throughout.
