Relevant type of aquaculture:

Fish Shellfish Seaweed

Relevant sea basin:

Baltic

Relevant stage:

Removal and recycling

Related Barriers:

  • The cost of collection and transport of end-of-life aquaculture gear are yet not organised with the involvement of materials producers. At present that cost is mostly left to the ports– this is particularly relevant in a sector where both ports, and the farmers are often small-scale.

  • There is a lack of cooperation between different sectors like aquaculture, fisheries and agriculture to collect a needed amount of gear to assure recycling. Recycling will only be taken up on a larger scale if it is economically beneficial.
