The Act proposes a balanced framework for the development of offshore aquaculture in the United States with a process to further grow coastal economies while minimizing environmental impact.

“The Crosby Group has a long history of delivering rigging and mooring solutions for the aquaculture industry,” said Robert Desel, CEO of The Crosby Group. “We are greatly encouraged by bipartisan activity in this space to drive US aquaculture forward in a safe and sustainable way.”
