Florida Sea Grant provides national leadership to ensure a safe seafood supply in its participation in the Seafood HACCP Alliance, a nationwide network. Florida's seafood industry, consumer demands, demography and related environmental concerns exemplify these challenges, particularly in temperate and tropical regions. Florida's 400-plus licensed processing and wholesaling plants -- more than any other state -- account for over $500 million in annual processed value, and include some of the world's largest shrimp and fish processors, as well as specialized processors of oysters, blue crabs, and calico scallops.

Recreational and commercial fisheries comprise multi-billion dollar industries in Florida. Increasing demands for both high quality seafood products and memorable recreational fishing opportunities have placed increased pressure on the stocks of finfish and shellfish species which inhabit the coastal waters of Florida. Increased usage associated with this demand dictates the need for more effective fisheries management programs. Effective management requires knowledge on the life history of the target species, sustainable catch levels, appropriate distribution of the catch among commercial and recreational users, by-catch associated with different types of fishing gear, impact of fishing activities on essential habitats, and many other issues. Biological, economic, and social expertise must be brought to bear by research and educational programs in a manner such that the sustainable use of Florida's marine finfish and shellfish resources can be ensured.
