Research and Workforce Development Priorities
In 2016, the Alaska Mariculture Task Force (MTF) was established and mandated by Governor Walker to assess and provide a report of formal recommendations for the development of a viable and sustainable mariculture industry.
In 2021, the Final Report to Governor Dunleavy was provided by the MTF, which was then succeeded by the Alaska Mariculture Alliance (AMA). Initial research and workforce development priorities, along with the vision, goal, and plan for developing a viable and sustainable mariculture industry in Alaska, can be found in the Final Report
In 2023, the Pacific Coast Shellfish Growers Association (PCSGA) Research Committee published the updated 2023 Research Priorities.
