Getting Started in Shellfish and Seaweed Aquaculture

While the lobster fishery continues to be an economic boon on the coast of Maine, warming waters create an uncertain future. By diversifying into kelp and shellfish aquaculture, coastal residents can add an income stream and keep our islands and remote towns viable places to live and work even if lobsters become less prominent in the future. Existing fishermen are especially predisposed to start small aquaculture businesses, as they already have boats and some of the needed gear and business knowledge. The Island Institute's first group of prospective aquaculturists, interviewed here, began their journey in early 2016 as part of the inaugural Aquaculture Business Development Program. Less than a year later, more than half of the twenty members have already started kelp, mussel, and oyster operations, or are close to launching their new businesses.
