; (H) prevent the escape of culture species that may cause significant environmental harm; (I) minimize the risks and impacts on biological, chemical, and physical features of water quality; and (J) avoid, minimize, or mitigate, to the extent practicable, the cumulative adverse effects of the offshore aquaculture operation in consideration of other existing offshore aquaculture operations in the vicinity of the proposed site. 11. Research and development grant program (a) In general The Secretary shall establish, in consultation with applicable Federal agencies, coastal States, tribal governments, regional fishery management councils, academic institutions, and interested stakeholders, a research and development grant program to further the purposes of this Act. In carrying out this subsection, the Secretary shall consider utilizing existing programs that leverage State and local partnerships and take advantage of the extramural research community, including the Saltonstall-Kennedy Grant Program, the National Sea Grant College Program, the National Oceanographic Partnership Program, and consortium of institutions. (b) Components The research and development grant program shall award competitive, peer-reviewed grants to fund research and extension services— (1) to improve the understanding and application of larviculture for improving larval survival and breeding practices for cultured species and species of future interest for marine aquaculture; (2) to advance the understanding and application of genetics research with respect to cultured species and potential interactions with wild stocks; (3) to advance research into cultured species disease and management, mitigation, and prevention of disease, including efforts to support the development of comprehensive fish health management tools, including access to safe and effective vaccines, therapeutants, and therapies
