Case co-founds House aquaculture caucus
U.S. Rep. Ed Case, D-Hawaii, is joining three House colleagues in forming a bipartisan aquaculture caucus to educate others about the potential for a sustainable domestic aquaculture industry in the United States.
“Aquaculture has always held great promise to help us achieve our broader goals of creating sustainable food systems and responsibly managing our marine resources,” Case said in a statement released on Friday. “Congress should focus more directly on how best to mold federal policy to realize the full potential of American aquaculture. Our new Aquaculture Caucus will provide that focus as we clarify often confusing and contradicting regulatory schemes while ensuring that we protect our marine environment.”
Hawaii’s aquaculture sales hit $79.7 million in 2021.
