Aquaculture presents a unique opportunity in U.S. marine-based industries to build inclusivity and equity into the industry while it is growing and expanding into new frontiers. From the vantage point of federal opportunities to support an inclusive aquaculture industry, leadership from NOAA Fisheries will share how they are supporting and encouraging women’s engagement in aquaculture and why it is so important that women have access and opportunities to fully participate and lead in the industry.
