The document reports the activities carried out during the first year of the InDAM Project “Indicators for Sustainable Development of Aquaculture and Guidelines for their use in the Mediterranean” in support to the GFCM CAQ Working Group on Sustainability in Aquaculture (WGSA) and funded by the EU DG Mare. The project focuses on the practical use of the indicators for sustainable aquaculture and their adaptation to the Mediterranean Sea. The methodology applied for the identification of the prel iminary list of indicators was based on the PCI (Principles, Criteria and Indicators) approach and took into consideration the main outcomes and achievements of the recent projects carried out in the Mediterranean on the identification of indicators for sustainable aquaculture. The principles of sustainability and standards, in their four dimensions: governance, economic, social and environmental, and their relationship with aquaculture and its sustainable development in the coastal areas, are h ighlighted. The document also reports the results of the workshop on the Selection of indicators for the sustainable development of aquaculture in the Mediterranean Sea (27th-28th November 2008, Montpellier, France), the expert meeting on Indicators for the sustainable development of aquaculture in the Mediterranean Sea (24-26 February 2009, Montpellier, France) and the workshop on Guidelines and application of indicators for sustainable development of aquaculture (19-20 November 2009, Salammbô, Tunisia). The recommendations given by the WGSA are also included. The two pilot studies on the selection and evaluation of the indicators for aquaculture sustainable development carried out in Mugla, Turkey, and Monastir, Tunisia, are described. The data base on relevant indicators for sustainable aquaculture and the web portal on the InDAM Project activities hosted on the SIPAM website are presented.
