Legislation measures

Policies should install a framework and certification for waste management in aquaculture companies (e.g. Including key performance indicators - KPI’s).

Policy Policy

Design: Klipfolio Design: Klipfolio

Relevant type of aquaculture:

Fish Shellfish Seaweed

Relevant sea basin:

Baltic

Relevant stage:

Removal and recycling

Related Barriers:

  • Market incentives for the effective participation in separate collection or for the return of special types of aquaculture gear (like cages) in the form of deposit return schemes are lacking.

  • Despite the removal of financial penalties for fishermen and aquaculture farmers tobring gear ashore under the revised Port Reception Facilities Directive, the effects of paying even indirect fees may not be sufficient as an incentive to completely exclude disposing of damaged gear at sea if storage space on board is limited. In addition, the obligation to set-up additional port reception facilities, in smaller ports in particular, may lead to an increase of overall port fees.

  • Procedures for dismantling are not economically efficient today and should be further optimized. Manual dismantling processes only exist in some Baltic Sea countries and transport across countries is expensive.
