Please describe the nature of the business or organization
The New Bedford Ocean Cluster (NBOC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization created in 2021 to leverage New Bedford’s coastal position, marine knowledge base, and landside capacity to drive employment and wealth creation for New Bedford residents through a dynamic approach of targeted business recruitment, the creation of unique economic infrastructure, skill development, and support for homegrown ocean economy companies.
While the Port of New Bedford is the focal point of the NBOC, the cluster is a regional initiative with New Bedford at the geographical center. The NBOC works collaboratively with the private sector, public sector, and academic institutions to establish New Bedford as the leading ocean economy on the East Coast through a strategic focus on four, interrelated marine industry pillars:
• Aquaculture
• Commercial Fishing & Processing
• Innovation & Technology
• Offshore Renewable Energy
