Abstract

Abstract With its long coastline, vast exclusive economic zone (EEZ), skilled labor force, advanced technology, and one of the largest seafood markets in the world, the United States could be a major marine aquaculture producer of fish, mollusks, crustaceans, and marine algae. Despite all its promise, U.S. marine aquaculture production is tiny relative to its potential. The constraints often cited are lack of social license, an inefficient and uncoordinated permitting system, and the absence of supportive government programs similar to those enjoyed by terrestrial agriculture. National commissions have noted these constraints for more than 30 years. The paper first outlines key policy drivers prompting a reevaluation of US marine aquaculture policy (human health and nutrition, climate change, and market disruptions caused by the coronavirus) and then focuses on three critical policy goals that could contribute to expanding U.S. seafood farming: improve public understanding and acceptance, enhance the efficiency and timeliness of the aquaculture permitting process, and expand economic incentives to foster aquaculture development.
美国海洋水产养殖的政策考虑
美国拥有漫长的海岸线、广阔的专属经济区、熟练的劳动力、先进的技术以及世界上最大的海鲜市场之一,可以成为鱼类、软体动物、甲壳类动物和海藻的主要海洋养殖生产国。尽管前景看好,但美国的海洋水产养殖产量与其潜力相比还是微不足道的。人们经常提到的制约因素是缺乏社会许可,低效且不协调的许可制度,以及缺乏类似陆地农业所享有的支持性政府项目。30多年来,国家委员会一直注意到这些制约因素。本文首先概述了促使重新评估美国海洋水产养殖政策的关键政策驱动因素(人类健康和营养、气候变化和冠状病毒造成的市场中断),然后重点介绍了可能有助于扩大美国海产品养殖的三个关键政策目标:提高公众的理解和接受度,提高水产养殖许可程序的效率和及时性,扩大经济激励措施以促进水产养殖发展。
