Title: Aquaculture

Preamble:

WHEREAS our Agriculture is one of the leading causes of climate change, an expense to our government, and an expense to the land we live on. Aquaculture is a new farming technique that has already proven its usefulness in cultivating large sums of food in a short period of time without being a harm to the fish or crustacean population. This technique has the potential of ending coral reef devastation from over fishing along with decreasing the amount of CO2 we put into the atmosphere.

Therefore:

Section 1: Add restrictions to fishing that is not from an aquaculture farm as seen below.

Section 2: Invest in startup aquaculture farms to get the industry rolling and have them located in deep waters near the shore that is also not close to a vulnerable coral reef.

Section 3: Congress ought to pass appropriate legislation to decrease the effects of over fishing and to develop aquaculture.
