State says it is perfectly suited to lead the US offshore aquaculture effort.

Kampachi Farms operated its Velella Gamma project for almost a year, located 6 miles off the coast of Kona, Hawaii, in 2014. The Velella Epsilon, proposed for 40 miles offshore of Sarasota, Florida, would culture the same species, which is native to the Gulf of Mexico.
