ACG - The Aquaculture Communications Group, LLC

The Aquaculture Communications Group (ACG) has a mission to be a world-class facilitator for the sourcing and exchange of aquaculture science, technology, and business information using 'new media' and other rapidly developing digital technologies. We will provide such information in text, photo, digital audio & video, and animation formats, to enhance information transfer and understanding. This multimedia approach will facilitate industry development through better information dissemination. It will also serve as a powerful tool in public education and issues awareness.

Aquaculture continues to grow more rapidly than all other animal food-producing sectors. Worldwide, the sector has grown at an average rate of 8.8 percent per year since 1970, compared with only 1.2 percent for capture fisheries and 2.8 percent for terrestrial farmed meat production systems over the same period.

Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector in the world today. This growth is highly dependent upon the transfer of scientific information, new and evolving technologies, and business information, to where it can be best applied. The need for an aquaculture information provider that can supply such information and knowledge resources to the global industry has been identified by ACG and we are responding.

ACG is also focused on developing an Aquaculture Community of Practice (CoP) for industry participants such as associations and federations, producers, suppliers, and other industry partners.

The Web is becoming the primary means for gathering information because of its speed and global reach.

The Internet has forever changed the nature of human communications. Its influence has already been felt in our daily lives. As a rapidly growing industry, aquaculture needs to harness the power of this tool and use it to strategic advantage.
