Monitoring Mariculture in the Gulf of Alaska
The mariculture industry in the Gulf of Alaska has been steadily growing in recent years, guided by ongoing research to help refine farm location and cultivation practices. A subset of aquaculture, mariculture focuses on rearing organisms in the open ocean. In Alaska, finfish farming is illegal, so most farms cultivate kelp, oysters, or a combination of the two. These small, locally operated farms started popping up in the Gulf of Alaska in the early 1990s, when shellfish farming first became legal. Kelp farming did not begin to catch on in the state until 2016. Many of the coastal areas that have grown interested in mariculture are historically commercial fishing communities.
