Hello everyone,
Does anyone have any information about who I can contact about help with filling out the permit forms and the process for starting a kelp farm off the coast of CT it would only be for a 10 acre farm. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@melissa_giovagniolli6180 There is good information in the leasing and permitting section of the Hub.

If you have specific questions about a site the staff at the Bureau of Aquaculture are a good resource
