The Alaska House of Representatives agreed last week to changes made to a mariculture enhancement bill that would allow shellfish to be grown in hatcheries.
HB 41 plays a key role in the building blocks to make mariculture a growing and significant part of the overall Alaska fisheries portfolio,” Ortiz said.
The bill outlines safety standards and a framework for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game to manage projects for growing shellfish and keeping stocks healthy.There’s lots of other things that have already happened and need to continue to happen in order to make that dream of perhaps an added billion-dollar-a-year industry to an already $5 billion, $6 billion-a-year industry.”
Right now, the capital budget has about $5 million for new mariculture projects. An important next step is the state expanding that number, he said.One thing that I’d like to see before the session ends is to see if we can get that number closer to the $25 million requested,” Ortiz said.Share this story:Update notifications
