2030 Outcome ... "aquaculture is sustainably grown to meet global needs (and) .... enable ... acceleration of fed and non-fed aquaculture production that fits local environmental, governance and economic priorities ...". Isn't me saying this - it's Andreas, Jane, and colleagues.
Our report “Ocean Solutions That Benefit People, Nature and the Economy” - explores new relationships between the ocean and humanity that simultaneously achieve adequate ocean protection, sustainable production, and equitable prosperity. Check it out here: bit.ly/3bm0nDE

Thank you, @ClimateEnvoy! Yes! This must mean the US fully endorses recommendations of Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2019 (tinyurl.com/4zkf3uc3), right? And starts to transition to more marine-sourced foods. #offshoreaquaculture, yes? Pls talk to @SenatorWicker @senatorschatz

Yes, absolutely! And may these robust tools of science also be equally applied to #offshore #aquaculture! Let's please have a little bit more objective analysis, and a lot less emotional hand-wringing. Let's listen to @NOAAFisheries and @noaaocean. Go, indeed, @alondra
Yes, @Marahh2o. That's the primary differentiation. And hatchery production then allows selective breeding benefits, such as humanity has been doing for the last 10,000 yrs or so. So it's full domestication, closed life cycle. Ranching is not evil, per se. Just rustic. 1/3 ...
For me, ranching is when fish are captured in wild as juveniles/ small adults, then grown out to market size—like w/bluefin tuna (boo!) Farming is when there is a hatchery & more full cycle, not taking from wild stock (except the few brood stalk). Thoughts @NeilAnthonySims ?
We don't discriminate on nationality, @jjminich. (I myself took my first formal job here on a green card, so I think of immigrants as one of the US' greatest natural resources!) But applicants would need to be eligible to work in the US.

Interested in joining our team in Kona, Hawaii, to help advance sustainable marine aquaculture? We are committed to building a more DEI aquaculture community, so would welcome applicants of all backgrounds and identities. Marine Fish Program Manager: tinyurl.com/y38hk9cj
Absolutely, yes. Scale is critical. It's how we feed the world. Gentry, et al, 2017 (the 100x paper) underscored the potential pretty well. Even so, let's not besmirch freshwater fish. I wish those folk all the best ... really. 'Twould be nice if they felt the same towards us!
Neil, would you agree that scalability is much greater in mariculture vs freshwater wrt finfish? It seems like scientists always forget about this important aspect of business dev- these folks don’t even touch on this in the paper

Sure, yes, I can imagine that "science can be a cruel place", @DocFroehlich, but try being in a pioneering sliver of the private sector when "science" decides to smear the literal waters in which you swim. (Oof!) But it seems to me they miss the point entirely. 1/3 ...

"And those dang mobile-car-phone thingies aren't ever going to be any use to anyone, except for a few high-falutin' executives driving around a few blocks of Manhattan" they said, surveying the potential in 1978 for supercomputers in our pockets.

Ummm ... that would be "98% of America's Favorite Candy by State". For the other 2%, it would probably be shave-ice. Yes, we would call that a candy in Hawaii.
"We need to hold their feet to the fire." Great ... I like warm feet! Robust regulations and comprehensive monitoring are critical for industry, too. It provides assurances to the community, and that allows us to earn our social license. @TlustyM @CivilEats

"We’re ... supporting our domestic seafood industry .. (so) that it works on a level playing field with its competitors" @JaredHuffman Not really. It only mentions RESTORATIVE aquaculture. Bivalves, seaweeds. No fish? It's like combing your eyebrows when your hair is on fire.

How about ... "to permit > 100,000 tons of seafood production from offshore aquaculture by 2025—and to permit > 200,000 tons by 2030?" That would be a useful start ...
One day, hopefully soon, @OurOcean will pay attention to the science on marine aquaculture, & maybe mention it once or twice. Here, alongside offshore wind? (i.e."to permit > 12.5 gigawatts of energy production from offshore wind by 2025—and to permit > 25 gigawatts by 2030")??

Never too little, too late, @DocFroehlich. It underscores the imperative, and how many of the ICES nations are falling short. It "highlights the need to prioritize aquaculture policy ... with explicit recognition and strategic planning for climate change ..." Yes, precisely!

Wait ... @ourocean, @ryanono. How do you represent this as "an 'all hands on deck' approach", and not once mention aquaculture? Not even once?! Yet one of @UNHLP on Ocean's 5 major recommendations was transitioning to marine food systems. And they didn't mean fishing harder.
Looking for the details on the first comprehensive approach to ocean climate change? Look no further than this insightful - and thorough - review by @ourocean and @ryanono and Olivia Lopez oceanconservancy.org/climate…
OK - guarantee that no-one wants to ever hear me sing, but maybe some will zoom in to @hawaiibookmusic tomorrow, 11 am – “Hawaii: A Hotbed of Offshore Aquaculture Innovation”. It’s the closest that I’ll ever get to performing at a “Festival”! #HBMF2020 #offshore #aquaculture

And perhaps those engaging in negative fear-mongering re #offshore #aquaculture and #AQUAA Act might be well-served to put on a mask-and-snorkel, and go visit an offshore aquaculture operation. And then read up on some of the science. It's just fish in the ocean, right?
The #AQUAA Act will work with existing environmental statutes to create pragmatic regulations for offshore aquaculture, @HendersonStrat tells @ndn. naplesnews.com/story/news/en…
