Plain-English Summary
This bill would provide financial support and resources to help small-scale and minority-owned seafood farms compete in the aquaculture industry, which involves raising fish and other seafood in controlled environments. The legislation aims to increase access to loans, grants, and technical assistance for farmers who have historically faced barriers to entering or expanding in this sector. By supporting these businesses, the bill intends to create more economic opportunities in coastal and rural communities while boosting domestic seafood production.
