REHOBOTH BEACH — Delaware is one step closer to becoming the final state on the East Coast to partake in commercial aquaculture.
A team at the Center for the Inland Bays has completed a year’s worth of research and developed recommendations for how aquaculture could best happen in the Inland Bays.
CIB Executive Director Chris Bason said he is hopeful legislators will pass a bill that will establish commercial aquaculture in the state in the spring.
If legislation is passed, he said it would be up to the state’s Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control to develop regulations. Then, interested parties would be able to fill out applications to lease land in the bays.
