Atlas for Values-Based Aquaculture Survey

Aquaculture Atlas: a new resource to advance values-based aquaculture

The North American Marine Alliance (NAMA) is working with allies to develop the Atlas for Values-Based Aquaculture – a digital platform to help those in the field connect, learn and grow our collective ability to provide ethically farmed seafood. The Atlas aims to bring together and resource the world of seafarmers, policymakers, researchers, chefs, and more. In order to be sure the Atlas serves you and your community's needs, we are seeking input through a user survey!

Please take a few minutes and tell us what you need to advance values-based aquaculture in the work that you do.

Who can participate in this survey?

Aquaculture farmers, chefs, communications professionals, researchers, and policymakers. We ask non-profit professionals not to participate at this time, unless you are specifically one of the above.

Why should you contribute to the survey?

We want the Aquaculture Atlas to meet you where you are and support your needs and aspirations toward ethical aquaculture. Whether that means providing information on leasing policies in your local waters or access to new markets, your responses will help us design a platform that’s useful for the challenges and opportunities you face.

What happens to the answers you provide?

All data collected through this survey will be used solely to inform the features we design into the Atlas. Your responses are kept confidential and anonymous! If you are interested in receiving information about the project, you can leave your name and email, but we will not share your information with anyone, nor mention your contribution to the project.

Thank you!
