A NEW STUDY ON MSP AND MARINE AQUACULTURE PRODUCED BY THE EUROPEAN MSP PLATFORM IS OUT!
The European Commission and European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA), have just published a technical study on “Access to space and water for marine aquaculture”. The objective of this study was to identify the main trends and practices for the allocation of marine space for the development of aquaculture across the EU, within the Maritime Spatial Plans (MSPs) produced to date. Based on consultation with EU Member States, the study presents the main enablers, blockers and model practices for the provision of space and water for the establishment of marine aquaculture.
