Strategic drive to boost sustainable aquaculture
It is proposing 24 actions and initiatives to boost the industry’s sustainable growth. The reformed Common Fisheries Policy requires member states to prepare multi- annual national strategic plans to drive the development of aquaculture.
Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney said the draft plan has been prepared in that context. He said aquaculture is a rapidly growing industry with rapid expansion opportunities. These are to meet the ever-growing seafood demand arising from population growth and increased consumption in Asia.
