This workshop aims to review and discuss the data and information collected for the Greater North Sea Aquaculture Overview, identify gaps, and agree on the next steps to complete the draft overview.
Aquaculture is a high-priority topic for ICES and our work on aquaculture is part of a wider portfolio of work that seeks to advance and share a scientific understanding of marine ecosystems and the services they provide—and to use this knowledge to generate state-of-the-art advice for meeting conservation, management, and sustainability goals.
The Greater North Sea will be the fifth ICES ecoregion to have an aquaculture overview.
