AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the National Aquaculture Act of 1980, which covers fish, shellfish, and other water-based farming. It requires federal reviews and an ongoing assessment of U.S. aquaculture to happen at least once every 3 years, and adds lists of money-related and regulatory barriers facing the industry to that assessment. It directs the Secretary to create a 14-member Aquaculture Advisory Committee of non-federal members who serve without pay and meet at least 3 times a year. It requires an annual report to Congress on aquaculture, including federal spending on the industry, and extends the law's funding authorizations from 2023 to 2029.
