The Pacific Region Aquaculture and Coastal Resource Hub builds strategic partnerships that revitalize and expand aquaculture development in the region. It seeks to improve and support aquaculture practices, restoration, and success of traditional Hawaiian fishponds, management of coastal resources, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education, and the economic condition of the state. The Hub aims to be a major source for aquaculture and coastal resource-related research and products, and link the aquaculture industry with the sustainability of natural resources, promotion of healthy coastal ecosystems, and respect for indigenous people and the unique multicultural fabric of society.
