Washington Shellfish Aquaculture
Author: Raye EvrardPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Environmental management
Languages : en
Pages : 59
Book Description
The Washington shellfish aquaculture regulatory framework is a complex instrument with numerous permits and high agency involvement. Shellfish business owners, industry officials and policy-makers look to simplify the overall process by reducing paperwork and permit redundancies. In the past, the Washington aquaculture sector held a close relationship with the Washington Department of Agriculture, and policy-makers are again assessing a closer future relationship, aiding in regulatory efficiency. The purpose of this study is to locate sources of inefficiency within the shellfish aquaculture regulatory framework and supply new ideas for future policy-making based on an aquaculture regulatory framework proposed by Takoukam and Erikstein (2013). There are four main objectives to this study. The first is to identify barriers within the regulatory framework from the federal scale to the county level restricting the Washington shellfish industry. Through scientific and governmental literature reviews, and information from conference attendance, these barriers are identified. The second objective is to showcase current programs addressing regulatory barriers in aquaculture. Current programs are the Shellfish Interagency Permitting Team, the Pacific Aquaculture Caucus, and the Pacific Coast Shellfish Growers Association. The third objective is to compare the regulatory framework for aquaculture based on the Washington agriculture framework. I used the Washington agriculture program as a template to assess how aquaculture can meet the regulatory goals set forth by Takoukam and Erikstein (2013). The Florida Aquaculture program, which is a combined Aquaculture-Agriculture regulatory department, is used to illustrate a closer relationship between the two divisions. The final objective is to assess the future of Washington aquaculture based on information provided through the first three objectives. Preliminary recommendations for the Washington regulatory framework are to shift regulatory work to county level officials, limit the number of government agencies involved, reduce review periods, and increase regulatory transparency on county and state levels.
Marine Aquaculture
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309046750
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Coastal farming and ocean ranching of marine fish, shellfish, crustaceans, and seaweed are a major and growing industry worldwide. In the United States, freshwater aquaculture is rapidly becoming a significant commercial activity; however, marine aquaculture has lagged behind. This book examines the obstacles to developing marine aquaculture in the United States and offers specific recommendations for technology and policy strategies to encourage this industry. The volume provides a wealth of information on the status of marine aquacultureâ€"including comparisons between U.S. and foreign approaches to policy and technology and of the diverse species under culture. Marine Aquaculture also describes problems of coordination of regulatory policy among various federal, state, and local government agencies and escalating competition for the use of coastal waters. It addresses environmental concerns and suggests engineering and research strategies for alleviating negative impacts from marine aquaculture operations.
Shellfish Aquaculture in Puget Sound in Light of Washington's Coastal Marine Spatial Planning

Category : Marine spatial planning
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
The shellfish growing industry in the Puget Sound region of Washington State greatly depends on the health of the marine waters, and is therefore considerably invested in coastal management issues and protection of state waters. The industry has overcome many challenges throughout its existence in Washington, and is currently facing many new and even unknown challenges to growth and sustainability. The purpose of this study is to define and evaluate different tools and strategies from around the world that may be integrated into Washington's proposed coastal and marine spatial planning (CMSP) management framework. There are four main goals of this study. The first is to identify the current major barriers that face the commercial shellfish industry in Puget Sound. Through literature review, workshop attendance, and discussions with stakeholders, the barriers identified include: Regulatory and permitting process, water quality, conflicting uses and public perceptions. The second goal is to investigate, through various international case studies, how marine policy frameworks from around the world may address these barriers. Evaluated tools include examples from case studies from the European Union, Ireland, France, Sweden, and Australia. The third goal is to explore how CMSP, which has recently been proposed as a marine management strategy for Washington State, and its objectives address these barriers to the Puget Sound shellfish industry and the important user conflicts that come into play. The final goal is to assess opportunities for improvement for how Washington's CMSP framework may integrate these new tools and practices from around the world. It is important to note that the framework used in this study can also be tailored to evaluate management strategies for many different ocean and coastal sectors and uses. Preliminary recommendations for CMSP in Washington include adapting community-based approaches for spatial management, focusing in on a shoreline, bay or watershed scope, increasing stakeholder involvement, improving communication and outreach strategies, and ensuring transparency and legitimacy through the entire implementation process.

Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
Aquaculture in the United States is a significant agribusiness industry, but it is also a troubled one whose future is clouded by doubt. Many aquaculture practices, such as deliberately introducing exotic species, hatcheries programs, and pen culture in protected waters have come under intense attack from environmentalists. Economic pressures on the industry from the value of coastal land, the unavailability of suitable supplies of water, and the legal costs of regulations have restricted growth. This book looks at the past, present and future of a troubled industry.
