Abstract: The purpose of this fishery management plan (FMP) is to develop a regional permitting process for regulating and promoting environmentally sound and economically sustainable aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) exclusive economic zone (EEZ). If the rule (RIN 0648-AS65, "Fishery Management Plan for Regulating Offshore Marine Aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico") is approved and implemented, up to 20 offshore aquaculture operations would be permitted in the Gulf over a 10 year period, with an estimated annual production of up to 64 million pounds. Establishing such a process requires the Council to develop an FMP for aquaculture.
