The National Organic Aquaculture Work Group (NOAWG) was created in 2004 as a broad coalition of interested individuals, companies and businesses supporting the development of national organic standards for aquaculture products in the US. In fact NOAWG submitted proposed organic standards to USDA in 2005.
In 2012, the USDA, after a period of inactivity on organic aquaculture, renewed its interest in getting organic aquaculture standards into practice to the year "2013."
NOAWG has scheduled informal open meetings to continue dialogue, updates and planning activities as the public rulemaking process unfolds. There is significant progress on moving toward a final rule for USDA national organic standards for aquaculture products but there is considerable frustration within the USA organic aquaculture community stemming from the seemingly endless delays with the final rulemaking process.
