Responsibility measures

For seaweed industries, the LCA is estimated to be around 5-10 years. Considering this frame, the monitoring schedule should be created and adapted, and the necessity to remove and renew all the old structures should be planned before they are too old and, therefore, more fragile in case of storm/accident.

Relevant type of aquaculture:

Seaweed

Relevant sea basin:

North

Relevant stage:

Monitoring and quantification

Related Barriers:

  • There is a lack of procedures for effective monitoring of the aquaculture farms.

  • There is a need for a better view of the components used by each type of activity.

  • To install any aquaculture infrastructure, you need a concession/license. To get this license, and to get it renewed, you need to follow the environmental criteria. This is mandatory for all infrastructures of all offshore sectors, but is not sufficient to monitor litter from aquaculture farms.
