Melissa Good is with the University of Alaska Fairbanks Alaska Sea Grant program as the Mariculture Specialist. She works with Alaska community members, mariculture industry, Alaska Native Tribes and Corporations, seafood processors, community leaders, and regulators to promote marine aquaculture in Alaska. Recent efforts have involved a “farm-to-table” project to connect Alaska consumers to locally-grown oysters and seaweed products grown by Alaskan farmers, developing educational materials, conducting a market assessment to identify technology and equipment used globally in primary processing and manufacturing of large volumes of seaweed, establishing a National Sea Grant Seaweed Hub, and establishing a pilot seaweed farm in western Alaska.
