Environmental Impact Assessment

Past history of the aquaculture industry shows that production systems dependent on natural water bodies such as oceans, seas, lakes and rivers are environmentally sensitive.  Furthermore, successful aquaculture projects are often located in rural undeveloped areas, thus creating social impact on agrarian, nomadic, or hunting cultures. Many countries have instituted or are considering regulations defining environmental and social issues, impacts, and monitoring and assessment processes.

AquaFarms can assist clients in proactively working to ensure a program of environmental and social assessments evaluation, and monitoring.
