AMA supports critical programs, including administering a $5 million mariculture matching grant, supporting farmers hosting mariculture apprenticeships, and more. Members help shape funding and other opportunities available to industry.

Knowledge & Connections

Tap into a statewide network of growers, processors, researchers, tribal leaders, and coastal communities. Get access to research findings, training programs, industry conferences, and market intelligence that keep you competitive.

Real Results
