Kodiak’s Blue Economy is flourishing, with momentum building for a more sustainable and profitable mariculture sector. The Kodiak Economic Development Corporation (KEDC) is proud to play a pivotal role in this growth, partnering with the University of Alaska Anchorage Center for Economic Development (CED) through a USDA grant. Together, we are developing a comprehensive business plan to expand kelp and oyster farming across Southwest Alaska, reinforcing Kodiak’s leadership in sustainable seafood production.
