The University of Alaska — which is developing academic programs in mariculture for its undergraduates and now offers a master’s degree in marine policy — is sponsoring a 3-day mariculture conference in Juneau.
They’re meeting up at the University of Alaska Mariculture Conference in Juneau this week to talk about how to get there.
“It is an industry that’s sustainable for Alaska, and can create jobs in not just in communities such as in places like Juneau, but in rural areas throughout Southeast. And anything that’s good for communities around Southeast Alaska is also good for Juneau,” he said. “Alaska needs to be on the world map for mariculture,” she said. “We have people who are better prepared and more willing to work for it. And that’s gonna get us there.”
Julie Decker directs the Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation, a non profit that supports fisheries. She says mariculture is a way to grow seafood opportunities in the state.
