In 2009, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) submitted the Fishery Management Plan for Regulating Offshore Marine Aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico (Aquaculture FMP/FPEIS)1, and its associated rulemaking, to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for agency review under procedures of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSFCMA). The Aquaculture FMP/PEIS entered into effect by operation of law on September 3, 2009. On the same date, the NOAA Administrator announced that the agency would develop a new national policy for marine aquaculture which would include guidance for federal waters. On June 9, 2011, NOAA released its Marine Aquaculture Policy (NOAA Aquaculture Policy) and announced its intentions to move forward with rulemaking for the Aquaculture FMP/FPEIS. Draft implementing regulations for the Aquaculture FMP/FPEIS were published on August 28, 2014 (79 FR 51424). The NMFS is currently reviewing comments on the draft regulations and plans to publish final regulations in 2015. After regulations are finalized, NMFS can begin accepting applications for Gulf Aquaculture Permits under the Aquaculture FMP/FPEIS. On April 20, 2010, an explosion occurred on the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) Macondo 252 (MC252) oil rig, resulting in the release of million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf). In addition, Corexit 9500A dispersant was applied as part of the effort to constrain the spill. After 85 days, the well was successfully capped in a coordinated effort on July 15, 2010. In January 2013, NMFS published a Notice of Intent (78 FR 5403) to prepare a draft Supplement to the Aquaculture FMP/FPEIS (DSFPEIS) in order to consider new circumstances and information arising from the DWH blowout. The DSFPEIS was made available for public comment in February 2014 (79 FR 9199)2 and NMFS received six comment letters. Public comments were reviewed by NMFS and used to inform this final SFPEIS document. The response to comments is located in Appendix C.
The Law Library presents the complete text of the Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf, and South Atlantic - Aquaculture (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 NMFS issues this final rule to implement the Fishery Management Plan for Regulating Offshore Aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico (FMP), as prepared by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council). The FMP entered into effect by operation of law on September 3, 2009. This final rule establishes a comprehensive regulatory program for managing the development of an environmentally sound and economically sustainable aquaculture fishery in Federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf), i.e., the Gulf exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The purpose of this final rule is to increase the yield of Federal fisheries in the Gulf by supplementing the harvest of wild caught species with cultured product.

FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Proceedings These proceedings, from a workshop convened by FAO and World Fisheries Trust (Canada), summarize diversification successes and opportunities in all major world regions, and identify general principles to guide diversification in aquaculture.The document includes an assessment of main strategies and future steps, not only in terms of purely economic costs but also in development costs, including evaluation and mitigation of environmental and social impacts and establishment of species-specific biosecurity frameworks.
