A coalition of Alaska mariculture organizations is one of just 21 recipients of the federal Build Back Better Regional Challenge grants. The Department of Commerce got over 500 applications.
The U.S. Department of Commerce believes in that vision, too. The Alaska Mariculture Cluster — a coalition of economic development districts and organizations — was one of 21 recipients of the Build Back Better Regional Challenge grant, funded through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The cluster has five years to spend that money.
There are clusters of shellfish and kelp farms on the other side of Kachemak Bay, as well, including 14 active aquatic farm permits between Jakalof Bay, Peterson Bay, Halibut Cove and Bear Cove, according to a map from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. He said members of the Alaska Mariculture Cluster will be meeting in Ketchikan next week to talk about next steps.
