Strategic Framework for Scottish Aquaculture

Launched in 2003, the framework outlined a vision of an aquaculture industry guided by the principles of sustainable development, balancing economic progress with social justice and environmental responsibility.

“The significance of the aquaculture industry to our rural economy in particular cannot be overstated”, “in many remote areas of Scotland its presence supports the necessary infrastructure of community life” and “that modern Scotland needs a thriving aquaculture industry is clear and irrefutable” were only a few remarks made at the launch of the Strategic Framework for Scottish Aquaculture.
