About the Alaska Mariculture Research and Training Center
The Alaska Mariculture Research and Training Center (AMRTC) supports the growth of Alaska’s mariculture industry by connecting research, training, and industry needs. We work across partners and disciplines to strengthen mariculture operations, support coastal communities, and inform management.
AMRTC brings together researchers, educators, industry members, tribal entities, and state and federal partners to align efforts that are responsive to industry-driven needs. By coordinating across groups and disciplines, we help to reduce duplication, increase efficiency, and enhance access to relevant knowledge, tools, and training.
What We Do
AMRTC advances Alaska’s mariculture sector by:
- Supporting workforce development through training and hands-on learning opportunities
- Coordinating applied research that addresses industry priorities
- Connecting growers, processors, researchers, and agencies
- Sharing information to improve practice, products, and decision-making
How We Work
AMRTC is virtually housed within Alaska Sea Grant at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and works closely with the Alaska Mariculture Alliance (AMA) to stay aligned with industry needs. This relationship ensures that research and training efforts are grounded in the needs of growers, processors, and coastal communities.
Looking Ahead
As Alaska’s mariculture industry continues to evolve, AMRTC will adapt to meet changing needs across research, training, and workforce development. We will continue to refine how we coordinate efforts, incorporate input from partners, and ensure our work remains responsive and relevant as we continue to support the mariculture sector.
