Descripción
Fisheries are one of the most significant renewable resources that Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) and Indian Ocean (IO) countries have for food security, livelihoods and economic growth. Efforts, however, need to be made to ensure that as the population in these countries grows, and demand for food and employment likewise grows, the benefits that aquaculture development provide are protected through sustainable and responsible planning and management. The Smartfish training workshop held in 2 013, the workshop report and the simple manual for undertaking aquaculture EIAs, including environmental monitoring plans provided theoretical and practical insights as well as recommendations for practitioners to address the specific considerations of aquaculture and for regulators to aid the identification of main risks and evaluate environment impact statements and reports.
