This presentation will provide an overview of NOAA Sea Grant’s current Aquaculture Investment Portfolio in support of US coastal, Great Lakes, and marine aquaculture research, education, and extension activities. The presentation will focus on the development and implementation of a “Five-Year Aquaculture Investment Plan” for consistent, reliable, and recurring aquaculture funding opportunities. The goal of the Plan, which was initiated in FY2024, is to provide predictable, but flexible funding opportunities to address issues and needs of the US aquaculture community. The various competitions that are included in the Plan will be discussed in detail, along with their anticipated scheduling.
