The NOAA Aquaculture Program draws on managerial, policy, and scientific expertise from across the agency and from among its federal, state, local, tribal, and academic partners. Coordinated out of NOAA Fisheries headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, the Aquaculture Program works with personnel in NOAA's other line offices, including:
- NOAA Research, which includes the national and state Sea Grant programs;
- NOAA Satellite and Information Service, which includes the NOAA Library’s Aquaculture Information Center; and
- NOAA Ocean Service.
The program also works with personnel in NOAA labs and science centers across the United States. Those include NOAA Fisheries Science Centers and NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, which are managed under the NOAA Ocean Service.
