Introduction to Indicator

Aquaculture can produce seafood as well as other products. Here we summarize available data on aquaculture production from Northeast US states.

Key Results and Visualizations

Overall oyster production is increasing and production per area is also improving. Aquaculture reporting is state specific and because of this can be difficult to collate in a meaningful way. However, this is improving year to year as aquaculture increases across the coast. The data included here only holds oyster numbers at this time.

Indicator statistics

Spatial scale: Mid Atlantic and New England

Temporal scale: Annual

Synthesis Theme:

• [X] Multiple System Drivers

Implications

Aquaculture production contributes to overall seafood production in the Northeast US. This indicator provides only a portion of aquaculture production in the region, but increases in this portion are apparent.
