Scallops and Seaweed:Â
Emerging Industries in Maine and Implications for Globalization
The seaweed and scallop aquaculture industries are relatively new industries in Maine's fisheries and aquaculture sector. Our project seeks to understand the issues these industries are facing and how these Maine industries connect with other aquaculture industries around the country and the world. Below are the sites we visited during our clinic trip in March 2023. Please click on the map to learn more about each group.
During our time speaking with people working in the seaweed and scallop industries in Maine, perspectives from other seaweed and scallop aquaculture industries around the world were often brought up. Please view the interactive map below to read about the connection between scallops and seaweed in Maine and other places around the world. See Policy Memos for more detail on how these connections influenced our project.
