More Aquaculture Development in the Gulf of Mexico

West Virginia's aquaculture is mostly limited to growing trout and other game fish for stocking in state streams, and some commercial facilities that use mine water to grow cold-water fish for sale. We don't have a coastline, along the Gulf or elsewhere (unless you count Myrtle Beach, SC), but I thought this article by Jessica Ferrell of the Marten Law Group was an interesting summary of the law that will apply to what is sure to be a growing industry - large scale commercial fish farming in the Gulf of Mexico.
