The History of Offshore Aquaculture Governance in the Gulf of Mexico

An aerial, wide-angle photograph showing multiple large, circular aquaculture net pens floating in the deep blue ocean.
The pens are arranged in two parallel rows, with three visible in the foreground. Each pen features a dark circular
outer ring structure that keeps it afloat on the surface. The ocean water inside and surrounding the pens appears calm.
The horizon is visible in the far background under a clear, bright sky.

Caption text: Figure 1. Offshore aquaculture almost always involves large net pens, as pictured here.
