Project Description The projected increase in the demand for aquacultured seafood presents an economic opportunity to expand aquaculture production in Maine. Many studies show that aquaculture farms reduce tidal current magnitude at the surface and bottom, which impacts nutrient and waste transport. Without considering the impact of a farm on flow, and hence nutrient supply … Continue reading Hydrodynamic Impacts of Expanding Aquaculture
