Objective
During the last decade several EU projects have dealt with the environmental issues of marine aquaculture in Europe and the current knowledge in this field has grown significantly. Most of the results are, however, not readily accessible and an overview and synthesis of the most important environmental issues is virtually lacking. It is therefore difficult to integrate this knowledge into the environmental requirements of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP).
We aim to bring experts from the many aspects of aquaculture-environment interactions together for a discussion of the most significant advances in the knowledge from the existing and on-going research and for a discussion of the future perspectives of marine aquaculture within Europe particularly in the environmental context, and for integration of these advances into the environmental requirements of the CFP. From these discussions a review and synthesis of the obtained results will be presented in a high-impact international journal to bring the consequences of recent advances to more general attention and to provide suggestions for the future EU research agenda.
To fulfil these objectives the project will organise a workshop for experts in the field, create a writing group to produce a review and synthesis for high-impact international publication and finally edit a book with contributions from experts in the field.
