The Florida Marine Aquaculture Coalition (FMAC) was formed out of the need to meet this potential by connecting investors, industry, and technology, as well as addressing business development gaps that need to be closed. FMAC exists to establish a strong recognized voice for sustainable aquaculture development, and to promote, market, and encourage development of sound sustainable aquaculture production in Florida.
FMAC members gain access to local, national, and, global insights and expertise. Additionally, members are invited to participate in meetings and webinars to share knowledge and experiences and address obstacles to development and business success.
