Green and Blue Growth: Challenges and opportunities for fisheries, aquaculture and the seafood industry

Location: Bilbao, Spain

Dates: 02 - 03 May 2012

Expand

Fisheries and aquaculture are important sources for proteins and livelihoods. They are based on the exploitation of renewable resources with a high potential for environmental degradation when production is not based on sustainable policies.
Green/blue growth policies in relation to fisheries and aquaculture production have to address different challenges in order to cope with issues of sustainability in the framework of increasing demand for fish protein, increasing production costs and increasing competition from other maritime productive and non-productive economic sectors and services.
In this context the workshop will investigate how fisheries and aquaculture can be integrated and operate sympathetically with the concept of a green economy.
