Target Audience:During the period of this project, we reached out to shellfish growers in South Carolina (SC) and conducted interviews with them. South Carolina Shellfish Growers Association is our main stakeholder and at the beginning of the project we conducted regular conversation and meetings with them. South Carolina Department of Agriculture (SCDA), SC Farm Bureau,South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) were part of our stakeholders and we reached out to them as well during the survey design process and for conducting webinar.We, also, collaborated with the South Carolina (SC) Sea Grant Living Marine Resources Program Specialist and the SC Sea Grant Assistant Director for Development and Extension, Clemson Extension agents, and University of Coastal Carolina to conduct our workshop, webinar, and to design of the surveys and questionnaire. Also, we surveyed more than 1200 residents of SC and Southeast of the USA about their perception towards eating and their willingness to pay for locally grown shellfish products. In addition, in 2022, we have met with shellfish growers in South Carolina (SC) several times to listen their needs and to identify potential areas of growth and improvement, regarding aquaculture development and marketing in SC. These meetings where mainly held in town of McClellanville SC where SC shellfish growers are hoping to establish a fishery school collaborating with Clemson University and SC Sea Grant. Also, a Senior Extension Associate of Clemson Extension, a collaborator of this project, worked with one of the major shellfish growers of the state to establish The Cape Romain Oyster Cooperative in Town of McClellanville SC. The collaboration with shellfish growers through a series of meetings and interviews resulted in designing the IMPLAN model to estimate the economic impact of shellfish production in SC. Changes/Problems:The biggest challenge of our study this year was COVID-19 in-person meetings restrictions. Due to COVID restrictions, we had to make delicate arrangements for travelling to shellfish producers' farms and also, we conducted online interviews in several cases. Also, instead of having in-person workshops, we ended up conducting an online webinar (as the alternative) for dissemination of our study results. Another challenging part of the study was reaching out to growers. Harvest season is a busy time for growers, and it made it a little bit challenging to reach out to them during that time. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?- We conducted several in - person meetings with SC shellfish growers, with Extension Agents, and with SC Sea Grant Shellfish Aquaculture Program Specialist to disseminate the results of our study (publications and infosheets) and, to discuss next steps for research on enhancing and developing aquaculture industry in SC. Also, we had several meetings on environmental benefits of oyster growing in SC (e.g., improving flood mitigation and water quality) through living shorelines strategies. Also, we continued our effort for establishing fishery school through meetings with stakeholders from town of McClellanville SC on enhancing working waterfronts where fishers and shellfish growers land their catch and on how next generation of growers can receive technical information. We published an Extension journal article to provide perspective towards the market recovery for oyster growers after COVID-19, listed below: Richards, S., Motallebi, M. (2021). New Survey Shows COVID-19 Impacts on South Carolina Oyster Farmers and Offers Hope for a Faster Recovery. Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development 10(2), 1 - 4. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5304/jafscd.2021.102.016. Also, we presented several oral presentations in the 2021 Aquaculture America conference, 2021 Food Distribution Research Society Annual Conference, and 2022 Western Agricultural Economics Association, 2022 Aquaculture Canada and World Aquaculture Society North America, 2022. - This project also provided opportunity for funding and research questions for a Master and a Ph.D. student. Both students completed their studies and published their thesis and dissertation. MS thesis: David Samuel Cheplick, M.S. Studies in Consumption and Production of South Carolina Aquaculture Products, December 2021. Ph.D. Dissertation: Steven Todd Richards, Ph.D. Factors Affecting Consumer and Restaurant Procurement Purchasing Decisions and Willingness to Pay for Local Proteins: A Case Study for South Carolina, May 2022. -We held an in-person workshop for more than 20 attendees at the Baruch Institute of Coastal Ecology for the SC Farm Bureau Ag in Classroom program for teachers presenting the economic impact of aquaculture industry and opportunities that shellfish industry is providing to SC economy and rural development. This program is a collaboration with SC Farm Bureau and SC Sea Grant. Teachers attending this meeting will promote the benefits of SC shellfish industry to K1-12 students. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Collaborating with SC Sea Grant, SC Shellfish Growers Association, and Clemson Cooperative Extension published an infosheet on The Economic Contribution of Oyster Mariculture in South Carolina and distributed it via email, posting it on Sea Grant Website, and through Social Media. Please see below link: https://www.scseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/Economic-Contribution-of-Oyster-Mariculture-SC.pdf We published two journal articles (titled: Seafood Consumption Preferences and Attributes Influencing Awareness of South Carolina Aquaculture Products. Journal of Food Distribution Research) and (titled: Factors Affecting Consumer Purchasing Decisions and Willingness to Pay for Oysters in South Carolina, Journal of Food Distribution Research). Due to the restrictions of COVID-19 in-person meetings, we could not hold an in-person workshop in 2020. Instead, we provided a state-wide webinar to shellfish growers, USDA, Farm Bureau, SC Dep. of Natural Resources, SC Sea Grant consortium, Clemson Extension agents, restaurant owners, restaurant managers, and chefs. More than 70 people registered, and we provided all the attendees with a link to the webinar. Maine Marine Extension and Virginia Seafood AREC participated in our webinar which shows that our work is reaching out to other states. You can access to the webinar materials through: https://clemson.box.com/s/eool0runedlzf2ncu5i0pg8z7x88d48q Also, we designed an info-sheet based on the results of our projects and sent them to shellfish growers in SC. Also, we have presented five oral presentations in different conferences. Listed below: Richards, S., Motallebi, M., Vassalos, M. (August 2022).

What was accomplished under these goals?
1- In consumer side of the market, we conducted surveys on South Carolina residents' perceptions towards local seafood consumption and local oyster marketing and have published two journal articles based on these surveys. Generally, residents of SC are willing to purchase and pay a premium for local shellfish products and the oyster consumers mentioned that if a seafood market existed in their area, they would buy 2-3 times as many oysters. Age and household income are two main factors for willingness to pay for local oysters. Also, most respondents to our survey didn't know that the majority of seafood in the market is not produced locally. We published two journal articles listed below as a result of these surveys: Richards, S., Vassalos, M., Motallebi, M. (2022). Factors Affecting Consumer Purchasing Decisions and Willingness to Pay for Oysters In South Carolina. Journal of Food Distribution Research 53(2), pp. 1-25. Cheplick, D., Motallebi, M., Richards, S., Dickes, L., Gaines, G., Walters, K. (2021). Seafood Consumption Preferences and Attributes Influencing Awareness of South Carolina Aquaculture Products. Journal of Food Distribution Research 52(3), pp. 24-45. We also, we conducted one survey on the East Coast of the USA residents' perceptions towards locally grown Clam marketing and consumption. Twelve hundred (1200) responses were collected, and we are in the process of analyzing the data. 2- We also conducted a national survey and some questions for restaurants managers and procurements about their willingness to pay for and barriers to buy local seafood. Results show that restaurants are willing to pay an average of 50% more for local seafood and desire to buy 65% more local seafood. Barriers to buying more local seafood are difficulty sourcing (48.5%), inconsistent quality (42.5%), and a lack of finished processing (26.6%). Surveys revealed solutions to these barriers to include: more wholesale markets or buying points (83%), aggregators of local seafood (50%), and more distribution of local seafood (33%). 3- In the producers' side of the market, we designed an oyster in 2019 and a clam economic outlook questionnaire in 2021 for SC and interviewed oyster and clam growers. In addition, we focus on barriers and issues for expanding these markets in SC. We completed the IMPLAN model results for SC Oyster outlook and our results showed that in 2019 the South Carolina oyster growers contribute another 130 jobs and $8.7 million in output. Also results of our interviews with oyster growers show that the lack of oyster seed as the most pressing constraint in the growth of the South Carolina Oyster industry. Currently, producers cannot meet the demand from South Carolina restaurants. Investing in seed production will make it possible to double the size of the industry's output within 2 years and all of this output will remain in South Carolina. These results were presented in a state-wide webinar (title: on Shellfish Mariculture in South Carolina: Market Trends) to SC Shellfish growers, SC Department of Agriculture, SC Farm Bureau, Clemson Extension, University of Coastal Carolina, and SC Sea Grant. More than 71 people registered for the webinar and we sent the video of the webinar to attendees afterwards. In addition, we published an infosheet based on the results of this study. After COVID restrictions were lifted we finished interviews with clam growers and IMPLAN model was developed for analyzing economics impact of clam growing in SC in 2021. Based on interview data gathered from clam growers in the state, total clam production in South Carolina in 2021 generates a total economic impact of an estimated 54 jobs and $4.4 million in output (total sales) in the eight-county coastal region of the state. The estimated statewide impact on the economy is 133 jobs and $11.0 million in output. These impacts include direct, indirect, and induced effects. Inputs to the model included direct employment and sales (wholesale and retail) by clam producers, investment spending by clam producers, and gross sales of South Carolina grown clams at restaurants.

Target Audience:We reached out to shellfish growers in South Carolina (SC) and conducted interviews with them and this year our main target was clam growers. South Carolina Shellfish Growers Association is our main stakeholder and we communicated with them periodically. The South Carolina Department of Agriculture (SCDA), and South Carolina Farm Bureau were part of our stakeholder groups and we reached out to them to disseminate the results of our research. We collaborated with the South Carolina Sea Grant Living Marine Resources Program Specialist, South Carolina Sea Grant Shellfish Aquaculture Program Specialist, and the South Carolina Sea Grant Assistant Director for Development and Extension programs for designing the surveys and conducting meetings, a workshop, and a webinar. A Clemson Extension Associate was the main source for connecting us with shellfish growers in SC and also, we worked with the Clemson Water Resources Extension Agents for distributing the articles and infosheet that were produced from the results of this study. As a result of interaction will the SC Farm Bureau, we had a workshop on July 25th for their Ag in Classroom program for SC teachers on history of shellfish production and economic impact of aquaculture industry in SC. This year, we designed and distributed two surveys: 1- first survey focused on consumers' preference for SC oysters and this survey was distributed in metropolitans of SC (Charleston, Greenville, and Columbia), Charlotte, NC and Savannah, GA; 2- second survey focused on the East Coast consumers' preference for SC clams and their perceptions towards SC Clam marketing . The results of these two surveys are under review for publications. Also, we are conducting interviews with clam growers to assess the economic benefits of clam industry in SC and the results of these interviews will be used as inputs for the SC clam industry IMPLAN model. Changes/Problems:The biggest challenge of our study this year was still some COVID-19 restrictions in regards with in-person meetings. Due to COVID restrictions, we had to delay some of in-person meetings with the growers to the point that it was their harvest season. Harvest season is a busy time for growers, and it made it a little bit challenging to reach out to them. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?This year, we conducted several in-person meetings with SC shellfish growers and virtual meetings with Extension Agents to disseminate the results of our study and, discuss next steps for research on enhancing and developing aquaculture industry in SC. These meetings provided new ideas for establishing fishery school in McClellanville SC and on enhancing working waterfronts where fishers and shellfish growers land their catch. Also, we presented four oral presentations atthe 2021 Aquaculture America Conference, Food Distribution Research Society Annual Conference, and the 2022 Western Agricultural Economics Association, and also will present one oral presentation in Aquaculture Canada and World Aquaculture Society North America, 2022.

Journal of Food Distribution Research) this report cycle and one accepted (titled: Factors Affecting Consumer Purchasing Decisions and Willingness to Pay for Oysters in South Carolina, Journal of Food Distribution Research, will be published July 2022 issue). We are in the preparation process of two additional manuscripts (titled: Oyster Consumer Preference Survey Helps Focus South Carolina Oyster Marketing Efforts. AND Consumers' Willingness to Pay for Attributes of Locality and Sustainability of Seafood Products: A Choice Experiment For South Carolina Also, we have presented four oral presentations in different conferences and will be presenting another presentation in 2022 Aquaculture Canada and World Aquaculture Society North America. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?1-We are working with shellfish growers specifically clam growers to conduct more interviews for designing the clam outlook for SC. The interviews will be happening the end of July 2022 and Aug 2022. 2-Working on two manuscripts and planning to complete the drafts by the end of Dec 2022. 3-Analyzing the Clam survey data and the results will be reported in the next reporting period. 4-We are planning to have a webinar for shellfish growers on the latest results of our study in Oct or Nov 2022.

The highlights of our ongoing project are following: This year, in the consumer side of the market, we conducted one survey on the East Coast of the USA residents' perceptions towards South Carolina Clam marketing and consumption. Twelve hundred (1200) responses were collected, and we are in the process of analyzing the data. We also conducted a national survey asking restaurants managers and procurements about their willingness to pay for and barriers to buy local seafood.

Surveys revealed solutions to these barriers to include: more wholesale markets or buying points (83%), aggregators of local seafood (50%), and more distribution of local seafood (33%). This year, in the producers' side of the market, we designed a clam economic outlook questionnaire for SC and interviewed clam growers. We are in the process of running IMPLAN model to determine economic benefits of clam industry in the State of SC. We also completed the IMPLAN model results for SC Oyster outlook and our results show that the South Carolina oyster growers contribute another 130 jobs and $8.7 million in output. Also results of our interviews with oyster growers show that the lack of oyster seed as the most pressing constraint in the growth of the South Carolina Oyster industry. Currently, producers cannot meet the demand from South Carolina restaurants. Investing in seed production will make it possible to double the size of the industry's output within 2 years and all of this output will remain in South Carolina.

What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?We conducted several in-person interviews with SC Shellfish growers and conducted a webinar for the purpose of training and professional development for current shellfish producers and newcomers to production. We also send quarterly update to growers and provide them with info sheets about the results of our study. Also, we submitted three abstracts to the 2021 Aquaculture America conference and planning to present there. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Due to the restrictions of COVID-19 in-person meetings, we could not hold an in-person workshop. Instead, we provided a state-wide webinar to shellfish growers, USDA, DNR, SC Sea Grant consortium, Clemson Extension agents, restaurant owners, restaurant managers, and chefs. More than 70 people registered, and we provided all the attendees with a link to the webinar. Maine Marine Extension and Virginia Seafood AREC participated in our webinar which shows that our work is reaching out to other states. You can access the webinar materials through: https://clemson.box.com/s/eool0runedlzf2ncu5i0pg8z7x88d48q Also, we designed info sheets based on the results of our projects and sent them to shellfish growers in SC. We published one journal article (titled: New survey shows COVID-19's impacts on South Carolina oyster farmers and offers hope for recovery; Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development) this year and another one is under-review. We are in the process of preparing two more manuscripts. Also, we have three accepted abstracts in 2021 Aquaculture America conference and are planning to present our results there.

What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?We are planning to have at least one in-person workshop if the restrictions of COVID-19 in-person meetings are lifted. Otherwise, we will provide at least one webinar to update growers, state agencies, restaurant managers, SC Sea Grant, and other stakeholders about results of our project. We are planning to submit at least two more manuscripts. and we will conduct more interviews with shellfish growers and update our IMPLAN model.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
The highlights of our ongoing project are following: In consumer side of the market, we conducted two state-wide surveyson South Carolina residents' perceptions towards local seafood consumption and local oyster marketing. We have published one and submitted one journal article. We are working on two more submissions. Generally, residents of SC are willing to purchase and pay a premium for local shellfish products and the oyster consumers mentioned that if a seafood market existed in their area, they would buy 2-3 times as many oysters. Age and household income are two main factors for willingness to pay for local oysters. Also, most respondents to our survey didn't know that the majority of seafood in the market is not produced locally. We determined through our interviews that there are many barriers to enhance aquaculture industry in SC. We categorized them into two main categories: production issues and post-harvest barriers. Production issues tend to be technical, environmental, and political in nature. Examples include a lack of oyster seed, cold weather killing shrimp spawn, and a slow producer licensing system involving both state and federal agencies. Post-harvest barriers, such as logistics and marketing, may be more in the realm of immediate influence. And, if these post-harvest barriers were removed, it can be reasonably assumed that market opportunities will encourage resolution of production issues. In producers' side of the market, we designed a shellfish economic outlook for SC and interviewed shellfish growers (mainly oyster growers). I conducted an IMPLAN analysis and concluded that total impact of oyster growers to the economy of SC is $8.7 M. We are modifying the results at this point and will improve the model by adding other shellfish growers to our analysis.
