Aquaculture

Maryland Sea Grant has supported the development of aquaculture as an exciting new commercial opportunity in Maryland. It's one that capitalizes on the natural resources of our coastal waters and on the human resources of this state, the people who have long worked these waters for their living.

You can find more information from Maryland Sea Grant about aquaculture on several pages on our website:
