Extends federal support for U.S. fish farming programs and creates an advisory committee.
This bill would extend federal funding permission for aquaculture programs until 2029. It would also create a new advisory committee to guide the government on fish farming practices. The bill would also require regular reports to Congress on the industry's status.
Today, the permission for federal money for aquaculture programs expired in 2023, and there are no set schedules for industry reviews or a dedicated advisory committee. After this bill, federal funding permission for aquaculture programs would be extended through 2029. The government would also conduct industry reviews and assessments at least every three years, create a new Aquaculture Advisory Committee, and send annual reports to Congress.
