CCE Fisheries, together with NY Ag and Markets, is investigating the feasibility of expanding seafood processing on Long Island to support our commercial wild-caught fisheries and marine growers. During this project, CCE will be researching capacity, capital investment, and the availability of processing equipment that can help automate processing of NY's largest fisheries and better utilize underutilized species caught in the state. Our goal is to outline how and in what way additional processing - whether that is through the construction of one central or multiple de-centralized new facilities, or expanding existing processing businesses that are willing to expand their operations to better accommodate the seafood industry.
