Roy, Leo Pierre. Aquaculture White Paper & Strategic Plan. Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management. September 1995.

This resource documents two plans, the Aquaculture Strategic Plan and the Aquaculture White Paper Plan. The Aquaculture Strategic Plan explains, as of September 1995, the present and future status of aquaculture in Massachusetts. It is the tool that is needed to form a framework to support aquacultural activity, both private and public, and to encourage the growth of this industry during a critical stage of development. The purpose of the White Paper report is to review the status of the aquaculture industry in the state both from a biological and technological standpoint as well as from a legal/regulatory perspective. This White Paper includes information on the biology, technology, support systems, water quality, seafood safety, legal, and economic aspects of the aquaculture industry. This resource reports equally on these two programs, discussing their progress and reflecting upon their purpose as a action towards an increase in environmental awareness in Massachusetts.
