Introduction: NOAA Fisheries has released its first National Seafood Strategy, a comprehensive plan designed to bolster the U.S. seafood sector’s resilience against climate change and other critical challenges. This strategy aligns with the Biden-Harris Administration's goals for economic recovery, environmental sustainability, and enhancing the domestic seafood supply.

 

Key Objectives

  • Sustainable Production: Maintain or increase sustainable U.S. wild capture fisheries and climate-smart aquaculture production.
  • Economic Contribution: Support job creation, economic growth, and sector competitiveness.
  • Infrastructure Modernization: Upgrade supply chains and infrastructure with more value-added activities in the U.S.
  • Workforce Development: Expand opportunities for a diverse and growing seafood workforce.

 

Implementation: The strategy will be operationalized through an implementation plan developed by an internal working group. This plan will address climate adaptation, market changes, and infrastructure modernization.
