SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD
Blue Ocean Mariculture
Blue Ocean Mariculture is a visionary leader in sustainable seafood, pioneering the responsible cultivation of Hawaiian Kanpachi in the pristine, deep waters of the Kona coast.
As the only open-ocean finfish farm in the United States, Blue Ocean Mariculture raises Hawaiian Kampachi, leveraging ecological health to support economic vitality and community food security. Integrating the entire life cycle from hatchery to harvest, Blue Ocean Mariculture alleviates pressure on wild fish populations, ensuring that every fish is raised with a deep respect for its natural biology and the surrounding marine ecosystem.
Driven by a commitment to leave the ocean in a better state than they found it, Blue Ocean Mariculture utilizes innovative, fully submerged sea pens that minimize visual impact while optimizing water quality through natural high exchange currents.
Their approach is as much about people as it is about the planet; by providing consistent, premium quality seafood and fostering local employment, they are creating a scalable model for a more resilient future. This dedication to excellence has earned them the distinction of being the first finfish facility in the nation to achieve ASC certification, setting a global gold standard for what is possible when ingenuity meets environmental stewardship.
