September 29, 2025 | 1 min to read
NOAA Fisheries’ 2025 Aquaculture Accomplishments Report highlights growth in Alaska’s aquaculture and outlines coordinated local, state, and federal efforts to support the industry. NOAA’s Aquaculture Program promotes science-driven policies to expand sustainable domestic aquaculture, reducing reliance on imports—currently over 70% of U.S. seafood—and bolstering jobs, coastal communities, and a more secure, resource-efficient supply of healthy, home-grown seafood.
The NOAA Fisheries Alaska Regional Office has released the 2025 Aquaculture Accomplishments Report. It highlights the growth of the aquaculture industry in Alaska and provides details about local, state, and federal efforts aimed at supporting this important maritime industry.
NOAA’s Aquaculture Program supports cutting-edge science and policies to foster sustainable domestic aquaculture growth. Currently, at least 70 percent of the seafood Americans eat comes from other countries, and over half of that is farm-raised. Produced responsibly, as it is here in the United States, aquaculture is one of the most resource-efficient ways of making healthy food, and it can help reduce reliance on imports, providing a more stable and secure seafood supply. By expanding domestic aquaculture in harmony with wild-capture fisheries, NOAA helps create jobs, support coastal communities, and ensure healthy, home-grown seafood for American families.
