Aquaculture and Stock Enhancement Research

Did you know over half the seafood we eat is farmed, yet less than 1% of it comes from the U.S.? With global seafood demand expected to double in the next 40 years, it’s crucial we find sustainable ways to meet this need. Florida Atlantic University Harbor Branch is leading the charge in advancing aquaculture in Florida and beyond, ensuring a future with plentiful, high-quality seafood. As one of the world’s longest running programs of its kind, our researchers are developing techniques to produce nutritious, safe seafood without harming our marine ecosystems. From seaweed to fish, our experts even give back to nature by helping to replenish depleted stocks through restoration initiatives. By supporting FAU Harbor Branch, you’re investing in a future where everyone has access to healthy, sustainable seafood. Charitable gifts to this program help support aquaculture and stock enhancement efforts at Harbor Branch.
