MAF professors Dalton and Thompson, WHOI scientist Di Jin, and URI undergraduate Allie Katzanek recently published a new article in the Marine Policy journal on aquaculture in Rhode Island.\u00a0\u00a0To better understand public opinion about aquaculture, researchers conducted a state-wide survey of RI residents.\u00a0\u00a0Findings showed that respondents do not strictly support or oppose aquaculture development; instead support depends on the waterbody where the aquaculture is occurring, the amount of area used for aquaculture, and ways in which aquaculture is conducted.\u00a0 Results also indicated that the support for shellfish aquaculture development in two RI waterbodies declined with increasing levels of aquaculture activities.\u00a0 Comparisons among groups highlight\u00a0disagreement on the level beyond which shellfish aquaculture development is no longer acceptable, also known as the social carrying capacity.<\/p>\n
