The Hawaii Ocean Science and Technology (HOST), administered by the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA) , is a unique incubator and technology park located in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. The park's abundant sunlight and sea water resources make it a prime location for aquaculture R&D and commercialization . NELHA also recently established an aquaculture incubator program which completed its first cohort in December 2019. An overview of HOS and its special resources will be presented along with how these special resources allowed for the development of unique world renown aquaculture products.
