The Road to Sustainable Aquaculture (Report)

The Road to Sustainable Aquaculture (Report)

The report The Road to Sustainable Aquaculture is presented by the Sustainable Aquaculture Working Group of the Blue Food Partnership, in a presentation led by the World Economic Forum’s Friends of Ocean Action platform. The purpose of the Working Group is to create a science based global roadmap to guide the growth of sustainable aquaculture.

In this report you can find matters regarding the current context of aquaculture including frameworks that support responsible growth, the latest in scientific knowledge, governance structures and case studies.

The report is prepared by ThinkAqua on behalf of the Blue Food Partnership with the support of the UK Government’s Blue Planet Fund and it reviews available information on responsible aquaculture development, including:
• Relevant global frameworks in order to examine how responsible and sustainable aquaculture can contribute to current food system and sustainable development decision-making (UN Sustainable Development Goals and FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries);
• Existing evidence programmes along the value chain to identify delivery mechanisms, relevance and impact;
• Governance mechanisms, considering national legislation and regulation, certification and other approaches;
• Opportunities for integrated systems, particularly how more holistic aquaculture approaches can support increased food yields;
• Various studies from numerous geographies to examine successful approaches towards the responsible development of aquaculture and lessons learned.
