About the company
Pacific Shellfish Institute is a non-profit organization based in Olympia, Washington, registered as a tax-exempt corporate entity with the federal government since August 2004. The Institute provides research, technical assistance, and policy support to advance sustainable shellfish aquaculture practices and address industry challenges on the Pacific Coast. Through federal grant awards, Pacific Shellfish Institute delivers scientific research and stakeholder engagement services focused on understanding the environmental and biological impacts of shellfish farming operations, disease management, and market development for the U.S. shellfish industry.
Pacific Shellfish Institute has demonstrated substantial federal grant funding experience across multiple research initiatives supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). The Institute's current and recent prime grant awards include a $1,469,356 Cooperative Agreement from NOAA's Sea Grant Support program (awarded September 2025) to document biological variability and behavior of native species utilizing Pacific Coast shellfish farms through multi-method approaches including time-lapse video, environmental DNA metabarcoding, acoustic telemetry, and on-site observations spanning Washington, Oregon, California, and Alaska. Prior prime awards from NOAA addressed catastrophic shellfish mortalities in triploid Pacific oysters (2021-2025) and sustainable aquaculture and shellfish restoration practices in partnership with Puget Sound Restoration Fund (2021-2025). An APHIS Cooperative Agreement (2023-2025) focused on characterizing needs for enhancing early disease detection systems to protect shellfish health and industry viability. As a sub-grantee, Pacific Shellfish Institute has collaborated with prime grantees including the University of Washington, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, and The Southeast Conference on projects addressing shellfish production data tracking, oyster market analysis, and species research. The Institute's work consistently emphasizes stakeholder engagement, regulatory compliance support, policy development, and dissemination of research findings to industry partners, Native American tribes, and natural resource managers across the Pacific Coast region.
