European Aquaculture: Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation – Advice to the Aquaculture Advisory Council (Report)

European Aquaculture: Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation – Advice to the Aquaculture Advisory Council (Report)

The EU is a major food producer and exporter but does rely on imports of feed protein for animal and fish livestock alike. Climate change, caused by largely anthropogenic-driven global warming, is already demonstrating its potential to challenge existing food production systems in the EU that are already being impacted by geo-political turbulence.

The report European Aquaculture: Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation – Advice to the Aquaculture Advisory Council, produced by Poseidon Aquatic Resources Management Europe Ltd with financial support from the Aquaculture Advisory Council (AAC) and the European Commission, examines the potential solutions for adapting to – and mitigating against – the impact of climate change on EU aquaculture as well as the resilience of aquaculture to climate change compared to equivalent terrestrial food production systems. 
The report concludes with a series of recommendations aimed at the Commission and to aquaculture stakeholders across the EU.
