A new bill in the U.S. Senate aims to increase domestic seafood production in the U.S., which currently imports most of its seafood.
The Marine Aquaculture Research for America (MARA) Act of 2025 would explore innovative new methods of producing homegrown American sustainable aquaculture.
The bill focuses on boosting offshore aquaculture development by removing regulatory barriers, providing a positive impact on the aquaculture industry by opening up new areas for fish farming, and potentially increasing domestic seafood production.
