In this episode of The Business of Aquaculture, host Lourdes Gant sits down with Maddie Voorhees, U.S. Aquaculture Campaign Director at Fisheries & Oceans, Environmental Defense Fund, to dive into the Marine Aquaculture and Resilient Oceans (MARA) Act.
We explore the Act’s environmental and economic objectives, its role in strengthening marine conservation, and the opportunities it creates for coastal community development. Maddie also shares EDF’s perspective on the biggest challenges facing ocean sustainability, and how aquaculture and fisheries can engage with the MARA Act to not only meet compliance but also drive innovation toward more sustainable practices.
Whether you’re in policy, aquaculture, or simply passionate about the future of our oceans, this conversation offers practical insights on how legislation and industry can work hand-in-hand for a resilient blue economy.
