Awards issued prior to january 20, 2025, were funded under previous administrations and may not reflect the priorities and policies of the current administration.** atlantic corporation proposes to develop a set of publicly available and widely distributed market assessment and business planning tools for stakeholders across the aquaculture industry. Based on a nationwide consumer insights survey about farm-raised finfish and shellfish, the tool set will consist of an interactive data dashboard, spatial visualization application, and a findings report. The tool set will provide critical market data needed to make informed decisions about the most profitable species to grow, optimal crop size, and the correlating consumer demographics and market segments to target.seafood consumption is growing, and more americans are demanding locally sourced foods. Recent studies demonstrate that consumers are accepting of farm-raised seafood and will pay a premium if produced responsibly with sustainable certifications or produced locally. Domestic aquaculture production can meet the growing demand for seafood, provide consumers with more diverse, locally produced offerings, and reduce reliance on imports.
