Description

As the agency reported it.

Establishing community-based mariculture operations on the island has the potential to increase food security, livelihood diversification, and economic resiliency of the puerto rican artisanal fishery. There are oyster mariculture industries that utilize these native oysters in the caribbean, although the development of such an industry hasn't been realized in PR. The proposed research will address current knowledge gaps through four topic areas: oyster spat collection, oyster grow-out, market analysis, and fisher engagement. This project will inform best farm management practices, future hatchery techniques, market outlets and sales channels, community governance arrangements, and a regulatory roadmap for future sustainable aquaculture projects.
