The Basics on Aquaculture Mooring Systems

When submitting a LPA or Lease application one of the details that you might brush over is your mooring system. A lack of research in this area can lead to gear breaking free causing significant damage and loss of your crop. Understanding and installing moorings that work for the load that aquaculture gear generates is crucial.

Research, Development and Education Priorities for the Aquaculture Sector in Maine

This report is based on the research priorities survey conducted in June 2019 of Maine’s aquaculture community and is compared with surveys from 2012 and 2016 to look at trends. There have been some changes in the prioritization of needs since 2016, but many of the same research, development, and education (R&D&E) needs persist and remain unaddressed. As expected, there are different R&D&E priorities for different aquaculture sectors.
