The marine farming industry is about to be growing in Alaska thanks to the billion-dollar Build Back Better Regional Challenge.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -

Executive Director of Southeast Conference Robert Venables says workforce development is the forefront of what the grant will provide. They will help supply infrastructure for small businesses scattered around coastal Alaska that don’t have the means to take that big leap forward. The Economic Development Association says the Alaska Mariculture Cluster showed it will support Alaska’s growing mariculture industry and provide shellfish and seaweed for the long-term benefit of the state’s economy and communities. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo spoke on the importance of this after President Joe Biden’s press conference Friday.
