Massachusetts
Aquaculture Grants Program
In 1997, as a result of the efforts of the Massachusetts State Legislature,
the Governor's Office, the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs and
the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture, the Massachusetts
Aquaculture Grants Program (MAG) was created in response to the Commonwealth's
interest in aquaculture development and the need for diversification of
fisheries and agricultural enterprises in Massachusetts. The MAG program
encourages environmentally responsible aquaculture projects that can demonstrate
public and industry benefit through work that will: result in the development
and implementation of new technologies, products, processes or services;
reduce aquaculture industry operating costs thereby increasing business
profitability; increase the productivity of Massachusetts aquatic cultivation
endeavors; and preserve existing jobs and/or result in new employment opportunities
for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Funded projects are required
to submit a final report that provides details about project development
and results.
