The Gulf Coast Sustainable Growers Alliance addresses challenges in aquaculture and food systems, highlighting land issues, water management, and the impact of weather on fisheries.
Challenges like boats, equipment, and water closures complicate aquaculture operations. Critical factors like salinity from freshwater inversion directly affect both fish species and fishermen's livelihoods.
Without support from the Farm Bill, we face numerous challenges. Our focus remains on promoting local farmers and educating youth about the significance of healthy food systems.
Adverse weather affects fisheries through events like hurricanes and excessive rain, which can alter salinity levels, potentially creating deadzones detrimental to local fish populations.
