United States Trout Farmers Association

The United States has released its first updated National Aquaculture Development Plan since 1983, reinforcing commitments to food security, climate resilience, and species conservation. Aquaculture is highlighted as a climate-smart, sustainable way to produce healthy food while restoring fisheries and aiding over 70 endangered species, such as Pacific Salmon and white abalone. The plan, developed by the National Science and Technology Council's Subcommittee on Aquaculture, includes three strategic plans: enhancing regulatory efficiency, advancing aquaculture research, and promoting economic development. Together, these documents provide a comprehensive framework to support public health, resilient communities, economic growth, and environmental sustainability through responsible aquaculture practices.
