Relevant type of aquaculture:

Fish Shellfish Seaweed

Relevant sea basin:

Baltic

Relevant stage:

Monitoring and quantification

Related Barriers:

  • The (national/regional) monitoring programmes from the national governments are currently not sufficient as a knowledge base for the aquaculture sector.

  • Countries are focusing on their national apporaches instead of enhancing transboundary cooperation.

  • Weak political will.

  • HELCOM does not have a monitoring programme on marine litter caused by aquaculture yet.
