The Gulf Shellfish Institute is a small nonprofit based in Palmetto, Florida, founded in 2015 by industry members. It aims to facilitate and support increased shellfish production in Florida and the Gulf region through collaborative research and outreach driven by industry needs. The organization emphasizes environmentally sustainable seafood production as a means to support coastal economies and ecosystems. Its work targets shellfish producers and coastal communities, striving to strengthen working waterfronts while improving water quality and habitats. The institute sees value in developing a domestic aquaculture sector that could help reduce trade deficits by expanding sustainable, high-quality seafood production. In 2022, the institute launched All Clams on Deck, a five-year restoration initiative across three Gulf estuaries—Tampa Bay, Sarasota Bay, and Charlotte Harbor.
