Our VisionVISION STATEMENT: In 2020, the aim of the Oregon Aquaculture Association (OAA) is to mobilize investment and diversify production to bring responsible aquaculture into the group of agricultural enterprises that makes meaningful economic contributions to the State and her citizenry.
TARGET GOALS: Increased and expanded aquacultural production will: (a) provide a variety of high-quality products, including foods to local markets as well as develop specialized exports; (b) enhance the use of increasingly scarce land and water resources; (c) create new Oregonian markets for 21st-Century technologies such as alternative energy sources along with cutting-edge biological and Artificial Intelligence technologies (d) catalyze new and innovative education pathways for the State’s youth; (e) link synergistically with sister agricultural industries (e.g., horticulture and viticulture) to improve both profits and resource use; (f) offer opportunities to repurpose shuttered industries while generating investment and employment in rural communities.
