The Action Plans for the Azores islands, Portugal continental and the Canary islands are out!

In AQUA-LIT we want our results to be used by more stakeholders than those from our 3 sea basin focus. That's why we studied the aquaculture context of the outermost regions of the Azores and Canary Islands, and of the Portuguese Atlantic. Based on their context, we focused our transferring of knowledge into actions and recommendations that apply to their particular state of aquaculture production. 

OUR FINAL RECAP VIDEO IS OUT AND IT IS AWESOME!
AQUA-LIT is coming to an end, and despite being sad for all the team, we are very proud and excited for everything we achieved. This is why we decided to make a beautiful recap video summarizing these past 2 years. You cannot miss it, it's a MUST WATCH!
