THE SHELLFISH AQUACULTURE INDUSTRY HAS BEEN EXPANDING THROUGHOUT THE U.S. AND GULF OF MEXICO IN RECENT DECADES. BEYOND SHELLFISH FARMS' IMPORTANT ROLE IN INCREASING NATIONAL SEAFOOD PRODUCTION, THE INDUSTRY SUPPORTS RURAL COASTAL COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. SHELLFISH FARMS ALSO PROVIDE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS LIKE IMPROVING WATER QUALITY AND CLARITY, REMOVING EXCESS NUTRIENTS, AND PROVIDING CRITICAL NURSERY HABITAT TO A VARIETY OF OTHER MARINE ANIMALS.WHEN FARMING HARD CLAMS, COVER NETS ARE USED IN SOME AREAS TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE CROP LOSSES FROM PREDATION. HOWEVER, COVER NETS ARE ALSO THE MOST FREQUENTLY LOST OR ABANDONED TYPE OF SHELLFISH AQUACULTURE GEAR AND HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME MARINE DEBRIS AND CAUSE ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE. IN ADDITION, WHILE A VAST MAJORITY OF MARINE DEBRIS COMES FROM LAND-BASED SOURCES, THE PORTION ATTRIBUTED TO AQUACULTURE GEAR THREATENS THE REPUTATION OF THIS SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRY. COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND PUBLIC PERCEPTION ISSUES WILL PLAY A KEY ROLE IN THE FUTURE OF THE SHELLFISH AQUACULTURE INDUSTRY IN THE UNITED STATES.ONE POTENTIAL SOLUTION FOR AQUACULTURE DEBRIS IS MANUFACTURING GEAR FROM BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS. THIS PROJECT WILL DIRECTLY LEAD TO THE CREATION OF A NEW BIODEGRADABLE MATERIAL THAT CAN BE USED FOR CLAM COVER NETS, ULTIMATELY REDUCING COASTAL PLASTIC POLLUTION AND ENHANCING ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY, SUSTAINABILITYAND PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF THE SHELLFISH AQUACULTURE INDUSTRY. THE NEW MATERIAL WILL BE MADE FROM LIGNIN, A PAPER MANUFACTURING WASTE PRODUCT GENERATED AT A RATE OF 50 BILLION TONS PER YEAR. CLAM COVER NETS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED FROM THIS NEW LIGNIN-BASED MATERIAL, AND TESTEDFOR STRENGTH, DURABILITYAND PERFORMANCE IN A REAL-WORLD FIELD EXPERIMENT ON CLAM LEASES IN CEDAR KEY, FLORIDA. RESULTS WILL BE COMPILED AND MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH WEBSITES, PUBLICATIONSAND WORKSHOPS FOR THE PUBLIC, CLAM FARMERS, STATE AND NATIONAL AQUACULTURE ASSOCIATIONS, AND MANUFACTURING FACILITIES THAT MAY BE INTERESTED IN PRODUCING CLAM NETS FROM THIS NEW BIODEGRADABLE MATERIAL. THERE IS ALSO POTENTIAL FOR THIS MARINE BIODEGRADABLE MATERIAL TO BE USED IN COASTAL AND OCEAN RESTORATION EFFORTS, LIKE THOSE FOR REEF AND SHORELINES, AND AS A REPLACEMENT FOR PLASTICS IN OTHER SHELLFISH AQUACULTURE PRODUCTION METHODS. WHILE SHELLFISH AQUACULTURE IS ALREADY RENOWNED FOR ITS SUPERLATIVE SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS, REDUCING THE INDUSTRY'S DEPENDENCE ON PLASTICS THROUGH BIODEGRADABLE ALTERNATIVES WILL REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, CREATE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPAND AND INTENSIFY PRODUCTION, AND FURTHER IMPROVE SHELLFISH AQUACULTURE'S PUBLIC IMAGE AS A STEWARD OF THE NATION'S COASTAL ECOSYSTEMS.$238,056
