Integrated policy vital for sustainable marine-based sector

Global aquaculture is booming - a result of a strong seafood market, advanced public research and suitable climatic conditions, says EU Commissioner Joe Borg. However, the industry is only a part of a diverse maritime sector that warrants environmental protection and global to promote sustainability at all levels.

Speaking at the Shanghai Fishery University last week, Dr Borg said that aquaculture faced a number of challenges, such as limitations of space, environmental impacts and the difficulty of remaining competitive."I believe that this is a field where the EU and China stand to benefit enormously from co-operation and it is one where I encourage us to work closely together."
