Cultivating a Network of Shellfish Aquaculture Research Farms Across the United States

Pitsenbarger, Madeline B.
Abstract
Based on the model of federally supported agricultural experimental stations, a number of universities have established shellfish aquaculture research farms through various means of support. Like terrestrial agriculture, these shellfish aquaculture research farms would benefit from increased coordination and communication. There is currently no compilation of research capacity or official means of communication. This project 1) assessed the current capacity and breadth of shellfish aquaculture research farms, and 2) aims to establish a national network of those farms to improve collaboration and communication. This framework allows for expansion beyond the project's initial scope and suggests actionable steps going forward.
