Aquaculture, the controlled cultivation and harvest of aquatic animals and plants in the sea, has been growing rapidly in Maine during the last decade. According to the Maine State Planning Office, the economic potential of aquaculture exceeds the current value of the state's traditional fisheries. However, as this new industry grows many issues arise which the public must address. A proper balance must be found between the economic benefits of aquaculture and maintaining environmental quality. In Making New Waves: Aquaculture in Maine, aquaculture industry members, environmental organizations, shorefront landowners, scientists, state regulators, town officials, and others express their views and concerns about this burgeoning industry.
