The Sustainable Southeast Partnership Regional Mariculture Catalyst will provide technical and social support necessary for residents of Southeast Alaska to benefit from the development of the mariculture industry. The primary focus of the catalyst will be to 1) advocate for Mariculture industry development that prioritizes Alaska Native and rural community voices and upholds tribal sovereignty, 2) enable access to mariculture resources and technical assistance for Alaska Native and rural Alaska community residents, 3) collaborate with community and regional partners of the SSP to advance project initiatives in SSP communities across the region that harness the power of traditional knowledge and values, customary and subsistence lifeways, regenerative economics, and local food movements.
