A learning network to drive improvements in aquaculture

EU funding has been supporting the GDSA to offer collective solutions to health challenges in aquaculture; run an environmental monitoring network to assess water quality and its impact on aquaculture sites; and to foster best practices and innovation through training sessions and collective strategies.  

Training and collective action are updating and expanding the knowledge base for better aquaculture practices, fostering information exchange and continuous improvement. The initiative also involves creating and disseminating memos, collective strategies, and opinions on specific topics to support aquaculture businesses in their efforts to progress toward more sustainable aquaculture. The success under the EMFF has led to new grant being requested - and approved - under the EMFAF.
