AquaTT

Aquaculture has grown exponentially in recent decades, accounting for over 20% of all seafood produced in Europe, and almost half of all seafood produced globally. Despite this, growth has slowed in Europe in recent years, with efforts to match production levels in Asia falling short. Aquaculture is an extraordinarily diverse sector faced with numerous challenges. One of those is efficient and sustainable resource management. Moreover, environmental impacts and a lack of appropriate management and monitoring stand as primary obstacles. At the same time, the demand for highly skilled personnel remains particularly high in small to medium-scale aquaculture farms. EWEAS recognises that capacity building is essential to strengthen the sustainable management of aquaculture farms and sets out to ensure that a highly competent and knowledgeable workforce is available to meet the future vision of the sector.
