Aquaculture - Ocean Strategies - Page 3

Ocean Strategies Senior Consultant Jes Hathaway sat down with Brenda Asuncion, the Hui Mālama Loko I'a Coordinator for Kua'aina Ulu 'Auamo (KUA), to discuss the restoration of traditional Hawaiian fishponds, the Hawaiian communities' role as caretakers of their lands and waters, and how we can advance community-based natural resource management through continued advocacy for indigenous practices and food systems.

Representatives from Ocean Strategies joined a stakeholder group of more than 20 for a January trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, where they explored native fish ponds (loko i’a), the National Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA), Blue Ocean Mariculture, Ocean Era, the Pacific Aquaculture and Coastal Resource Center (PACRC — an extension program associated with the University of Hawaii at Hilo) and other local fishery and aquaculture resources and caretakers.

The Ocean Strategies team has been keeping our ear to the ground regarding all things Washington aquaculture. Our quarterly newsletter, WA Aqua Bites, informs the seafood supply chain of important aquaculture happenings in Washington and beyond.

Ocean Strategies recently chatted with Diani Taylor, fifth generation shellfish farmer in Washington state and General Counsel for her family business, Taylor Shellfish Farms. Diani discussed the importance of seafood stakeholders engaging in discussion around climate issues, making sure shellfish regulatory processes work for farmers, and increasing diversity among sectors in order to ensure a robust, sustainable, and successful seafood supply chain.
