Development of guidance for the sustainable development of European aquaculture in relation to the WFD and the MSFD

REGIONAL ‘GOOD PRACTICE’ WORKSHOPS

DATES & VENUES

The project is dependent on building up a clear picture of activities taking place across EU-28 in relation to sustainable aquaculture development and the implementation of WFD and MSFD. In order to facilitate knowledge exchange, four two-day good-practice workshops are being organised in each of the marine regions (North East Atlantic, Mediterranean, Baltic, Black Sea/Danube) over the period April to June 2014. The purpose of these workshops is to bring together relevant stakeholders and to discuss the opportunities and challenges presented by the current legislative framework (WFD and MSFD in particular). The workshops will also provide a forum to determine criteria for what “good practice” means in the context of sustainable aquaculture. As an output from these workshops, documents will be produced outlining these good practice criteria and summarising the experiences shared.

Expected participation would be approximately 80-100 participants, made up of policymakers at national, regional sea and European level, as well as representatives of industry and the NGO community at the appropriate level.
