This grant is designed to support community-based mariculture projects that empower local residents to engage in sustainable seafood farming. The focus is particularly on aspiring fish farmers from economically challenged backgrounds who may lack the resources and training to enter the industry. By providing technical assistance and facilitating access to information, the grant aims to level the playing field for individuals interested in exploring aquaculture as a viable livelihood.
