Book excerpt: It is also recommended that efforts be increased to farm lower trophic levels species and optimize feeds and feeding in order to minimize ecosystems impacts and ensure long-term sustainability. Similarly, risk assessments and/or environmental impact assessment and monitoring must always be in place before establishing offshore farms, and permanent environmental monitoring must be ensured. All coastal nations should be prepared to engage actively in developing the technological, legal and financial frameworks needed to support the future development of offshore mariculture to meet global food needs. The workshop report highlights the major opportunities and challenges for a sustainable mariculture industry to grow and further expand off the coast.

Download or read book The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2022 written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2022 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture coincides with the launch of the Decade of Action to deliver the Global Goals, the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. It presents how these and other equally important United Nations events, such as the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA 2022), are being integrated and supported through Blue Transformation, a priority area of FAO’s new Strategic Framework 2022–2031 designed to accelerate achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in food and agriculture. The concept of Blue Transformation emerged from the Thirty-fourth Session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries in February 2021, and in particular the Declaration for Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture, which was negotiated and endorsed by all FAO Members. The Declaration calls for support for “an evolving and positive vision for fisheries and aquaculture in the twenty first century, where the sector is fully recognized for its contribution to fighting poverty, hunger and malnutrition.” In this context, Part 1 of this edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture reviews the world status of fisheries and aquaculture, while Parts 2 and 3 are devoted to Blue Transformation and its pillars on intensifying and expanding aquaculture, improving fisheries management and innovating fisheries and aquaculture value chains. Blue Transformation emphasizes the need for forward-looking and bold actions to be launched or accelerated in coming years to achieve the objectives of the Declaration and in support of the 2030 Agenda. Part 4 covers current and high-impact emerging issues – COVID-19, climate change and gender equality – that require thorough consideration for transformative steps and preparedness to secure sustainable, efficient and equitable fisheries and aquaculture, and finally draws some outlook on future trends based on projections. The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience – policymakers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed everyone interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector.

This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is a collection of concepts and practical information aimed at facilitating the establishment of allocated zones for aquaculture (AZAs) in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. It provides detailed information on the process involved in the establishment of an AZA and it is intended as a practical and comprehensive tool to better understand site selection and planning for aquaculture. This publication first provides a brief overview of the international and regional context, and reviews the institutional and legal framework related to AZAs at various levels. Sequential explanations on the AZA establishment process as well as suggestions for the main steps are then presented. The step-by-step approach for the establishment of AZAs takes into account a number of specific aspects, such as geographic information system tools, exclusion criteria and stakeholder participation, the main actors to be involved, the role of relevant authorities in charge of geographical and/or marine aquaculture planning, statutory responsibilities, prevention and resolution of possible conflicts, and decision-making. The guide also describes the objectives and contents of AZA management plans and presents the parameters to be used as reference points for the AZA implementation. It is addressed to decision-makers from relevant bodies and administrations, governmental and non-governmental organizations, scientific research institutions, aquaculture producers and fishing communities, as well as other relevant stakeholders involved in aquaculture activities, coastal development, and in the use of the aquatic environment and resources.

This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ecosystem approach to aquaculture provides the conceptual guideline to spatial planning and management. This publication describes the three major steps in spatial planning and management, namely, zoning, site selection and design of an aquaculture management area, or AMA. The rationale for and objectives of each step, the ways (methodologies) to implement it, and the means (tools) that are available to enable a methodology are described in a stepwise fashion. Recommendations to practitioner s and policy-makers are provided. A separate policy brief accompanies this paper. The benefits from spatial planning and management are numerous and include higher productivity and returns for investors, and more effective mitigation of environmental, economic and social risks, the details of which are provided in this paper. This publication is organized in two parts. Part one is the “Guidance”; it is the main body of the document and describes the processes and steps for spatial planning, incl uding aquaculture zoning, site selection and area management. Part two of the publication includes six annexes that present key topics, including: (i) binding and non-legally binding international instruments, which set the context for sustainable national aquaculture; (ii) biosecurity zoning; (iii) aquaculture certification and zonal management; (iv) an overview of key tools and models that can be used to facilitate and inform the spatial planning process; (v) case studies from ten countries – Brazil, Chile, China, Indonesia, Mexico, Oman, the Philippines, Turkey, Uganda and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland; and (vi) a workshop report. The country case studies illustrate key aspects of the implementation of spatial planning and management at the national level, but mostly within local contexts.

Book Synopsis Culturing the Future of Seafood by : Elizabeth Ruff
Download or read book Culturing the Future of Seafood written by Elizabeth Ruff and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine aquaculture, the farming of aquatic species in ocean environments, has substantial potential to contribute to the global supply of seafood. However, despite the global growth of marine aquaculture (mariculture) in recent years, there is substantial heterogeneity in where and to what extent the industry is developing. Additionally, biophysical growing conditions alone do not explain a large proportion of the variation in production, indicating that the geographic patterns of industry expansion are likely driven by other (e.g., economic, political, social) factors. As such, this dissertation examines the role of these non-biophysical factors in the development of the mariculture industry through a regional case study and a global analysis. The regional case study evaluates the influence of governance mechanisms on mariculture production in the Caribbean, which has high production potential based on biophysical parameters but has only realized a fraction of its estimated potential. For this chapter, I developed a Mariculture Governance Index (MGI) to assess existing mariculture governance frameworks within each of 30 Caribbean countries. When compared to current production volumes, I found a significant association with the level of mariculture governance for a given country. Specifically, the few countries with production tended to have higher MGI scores. However, case studies of the few countries that produce mariculture but have low MGI scores found that training programs, professional organizations, and financing institutions could provide the necessary support for industry development in the absence of the governance components included in the Index. In addition to insights about mariculture development in the Caribbean, this chapter contributes an extensive literature review of governance in relation to mariculture generally and a systematic index that can be used to assess governance infrastructure in other regions. In the global analysis, I expand on the Caribbean findings to quantitatively assess the extent to which governance, socioeconomic, and biophysical factors explain country-level patterns of mariculture production. Using multivariate statistics and global datasets, I assess the impact of 11 predictor variables on 1) whether a country has any mariculture production (yes or no) and 2) what volume of mariculture production a country has. The results of my analysis indicate that countries with large wild fisheries industries and high levels of development are most likely to have some level of mariculture production. Further, both of these factors as well as the existence of a freshwater aquaculture industry are associated with higher volumes of mariculture production. This chapter is the first multivariate, interdisciplinary assessment of factors influencing mariculture production and provides a foundation for a new research agenda that will improve our understanding of where and why the mariculture industry develops. The findings from the regional and global analyses indicate that governance and socioeconomic dynamics are highly influential but poorly understood drivers of the expanding mariculture industry. Geographers are well-positioned to explore and provide insight on these dynamics but have been relatively absent from the mariculture scholarship, particularly in comparison to other disciplines. To account for geographic participation in the mariculture literature, I conduct a review of the top 50 geography journals (as ranked by Clarivate Analytics), identifying 45 publications from 1990-2020 that focus on farming seafood in ocean spaces. In my review of this literature, I identify existing foundations for a maricultural geography in the arenas of political economy, political ecology, and science and technology studies and trace the evolution of these discourses over time. Lastly, I outline three pathways for further disciplinary engagement through the lenses of food and feminist geographies as well as social studies of science. Taken together, these chapters spatially and theoretically engage with mariculture and situate the industry within geography's broader agro-food discourses. Further, this work contributes to a nascent body of literature seeking to understand the role of mariculture in our global food system. Here, I have started to untangle the network of socionatural assemblages that shape the development of the mariculture industry by looking at development at different scales and employing both qualitative and quantitative techniques.

Book Synopsis Building Industries at Sea - ‘Blue Growth’ and the New Maritime Economy by : Kate Johnson
Download or read book Building Industries at Sea - ‘Blue Growth’ and the New Maritime Economy written by Kate Johnson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world there is evidence of mounting interest in marine resources and new maritime industries to create jobs, economic growth and to help in the provision of energy and food security. Expanding populations, insecurity of traditional sources of supply and the effects of climate change add urgency to a perceived need to address and overcome the serious challenges of working in the maritime environment. Four promising areas of activity for ‘Blue Growth’ have been identified at European Union policy level including Aquaculture; Renewable Energy (offshore wind, wave and tide); Seabed Mining; and Blue Biotechnology. Work has started to raise the technological and investment readiness levels (TRLs and IRLs) of these prospective industries drawing on the experience of established maritime industries such as Offshore Oil and Gas; Shipping; Fisheries and Tourism. An accord has to be struck between policy makers and regulators on the one hand, anxious to direct research and business incentives in effective and efficient directions, and developers, investors and businesses on the other, anxious to reduce the risks of such potentially profitable but innovative investments.The EU H2020 MARIBE (Marine Investment for the Blue Economy) funded project was designed to identify the key technical and non-technical challenges facing maritime industries and to place them into the social and economic context of the coastal and ocean economy. MARIBE went on to examine with companies, real projects for the combination of marine industry sectors into multi-use platforms (MUPs). The purpose of this book is to publish the detailed analysis of each prospective and established maritime business sector. Sector experts working to a common template explain what these industries are, how they work, their prospects to create wealth and employment, and where they currently stand in terms of innovation, trends and their lifecycle. The book goes on to describe progress with the changing regulatory and planning regimes in the European Sea Basins including the Caribbean where there are significant European interests. The book includes:• Experienced chapter authors from a truly multidisciplinary team of sector specialisms• First extensive study to compare and contrast traditional Blue Economy with Blue Growth• Complementary to EU and National policies for multi-use of maritime space
