| Upcoming SCA Economic Development Task Force Town Hall Webinars  The Subcommittee on Aquaculture is currently soliciting public input on two draft strategic plans: Strategic Plan to Enhance Regulatory Efficiency in Aquaculture and the Strategic Plan for Federal Aquaculture Research. The public comment period is open until September 18, 2021, and information on submitting written comments can be found here. In addition to regulatory efficiency and research planning, the Subcommittee has recently focused on developing a third strategic plan to support sustainable expansion of the aquaculture sector - one focused on economic development. Over the past year, a group of technical experts across several agencies across the federal government have developed a draft outline for the Strategic Plan for Aquaculture Economic Development. The Economic Development task force invites the public to a five-part, virtual federal town hall series to inform an early draft outline for an aquaculture economic development strategy. An updated draft outline will later be published in the Federal Register for additional public comment. The task force will focus on one of the draft outline's four goals in each session: | | Economic Development: Federal Town Hall #1 - Encouraging Industry Incentives Tuesday, September 21, 2021
