"Today in the United States, seafood is one of our largest natural resource trade deficits; a shocking 91% of our seafood is imported! Growing world populations require healthy, sustainably produced seafood.
To meet this demand, offshore aquaculture is an environmentally sustainable solution. Our U.S. wild finfish and shellfish stocks have diminished; catch levels are flat, at best, while our growing population and the demand for healthy protein continues to soar.
It is IMPERATIVE that something be done to change the trends of depletion and deficit. Utilizing the latest in submersible cage technology, MANNA FISH FARMS (MANNA) will responsibly grow finfish, shellfish and seaweed. MANNA plans to operate aquaculture farms and continue to research Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA).
Manna Fish Farms, Inc. (MANNA) is leading the way in offshore aquaculture development in the United States. MANNA will be one of the first offshore finfish farms on the East Coast of the United States. MANNA will operate the first North American organic certified finfish farm in Ontario, Canada, and MANNA is currently permitting to operate one of the first farming operations in the Gulf of Mexico. MANNA will implement a project plan that is responsible, transparent, and eco-friendly." (Source - https://mannafishfarms.com/about-us/)
