Aquaculture in WA & beyond
The aquaculture industry is a major economic engine of Washington state and helps support the seafood supply chain around the entire country. As commercial fishermen, we’re proud to support the hardworking shellfish and seaweed farmers that make their living on our nation’s working waterfronts.
Our quarterly publication has recently been sent to subscribers – if you follow aquaculture and working waterfront news in the Pacific Northwest, you may consider signing up for this WA Aqua Bites newsletter (shellfish-focused) and/or Washington Kelp Lines (all about seaweed farming in the state).
