Project code: TI-SF-08-PID1649
Contract period: 01.03.2015 - 28.02.2018
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment

Taking advantage of the fastest growing animal food-producing sector, the delivery of sustainable food security and increased employment opportunities through economic growth is supported by optimizing space availability for European Aquaculture. By adopting the Ecosystem Approach to Aquaculture (EAA) and Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) to deliver food security and increased employment opportunities through economic growth, the central goal is to provide increased space of high water quality for aquaculture. Key constraints experienced by aquaculture development at 16 case study sites having a variety of scales will be identified and mapped against the a set of evaluated tools for facilitating the aquaculture planning process by overcoming present constraints. This information will be presented on an interactive web-based platform with tailored entry points for specific user types (e.g. planners, farmers, public) to enable them to navigate to the tools most appropriate to their application. The information and knowledge gained during this process will be developed into an on-line module at Master's Degree Level which will also be developed into a short Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course aimed at aquaculture planning professionals.
