Mini-Grant Program

Recently approved $200,000 grant for mariculture expansion on Humboldt Bay. Developed by local oyster farmers in collaboration with the Humboldt Bay Harbor Recreation and Conservation District, the grant pays for permitting additional acreage in the bay for mariculture. This project should result in doubling the available acreage from the 325 currently in production to over 600 and result in at least 33 additional jobs.
