Shellfish Aquaculture Economic Impact Model

The Shellfish Aquaculture Economic Impact Model is a tool that evaluates how shellfish farming (like oysters and clams) contributes to the economy. It estimates factors such as job creation, income generation, and local business support resulting from shellfish aquaculture activities. By analyzing data on production, sales, and employment, the model helps stakeholders understand the economic benefits and potential growth areas of the industry, facilitating informed decision-making for sustainable development and policy planning.
