    Fathom the Opportunities

    MBCOI: Bringing Innovation to Light. Translating Marine Science into Products and Services. As a NEXUS for the Blue Economy, MBCOI facilitates the development of marine-related discoveries to benefit North Carolina’s economy.

  • Aquaculture

    Aquaculture

    Aquaculture is the fastest growing segment of agriculture in the US (13% CAGR). Globally, consumption of farm-raised seafood exceeds that of wild-caught and will rise to 62% by 2030, with a need to double production by 2050 to supply high-quality protein for ~9 billion people.
