The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, or NOAA, recently released a 10-year plan for aquaculture in the United States (NOAA 10-year plan for Marine Aquaculture).  We agree with their goal of increased usage of farming, particularly in terms of educating the public and in using aquaculture to rebuild stocks of wild fish.  As their plan seemed to be focused more on production and research goals, we feel it can still work under our plan, and as such encourage its adoption.
