Fish Farming in the US

Listen Monday, Jul. 11, 2005 at 12:06 p.m. in Environment, Health, Politics

Seafood has increasingly become a staple of American diets. Yet the U.S. imports over 70% of the fish Americans eat. Many policy makers believe that open-ocean aquaculture- fish farming in waters far off the coast- represents a potential solution to increasing domestic supplies of salmon, tuna and other in-demand fish. Hear about the Bush administration's plan to quintuple domestic fish farming by 2025, and why some environmental groups are wary.

Audio archives, transcripts and CDs will be available approximately 15 minutes after the program ends.
