Official press release from The Mexican National Fisheries Institute
The National Fisheries Institute (INAPESCA), the official agency in Mexico in charge of fisheries and aquaculture scientific research, has confirmed its full support for Offshore Mariculture 2017 in the following press release.
INAPESCA invites the international aquaculture community to attend, and manifests its full support for, the Offshore Mariculture Conference 2017. It will be held 6-10 March 2017 in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.
The Mexican Government strongly believes that mariculture offers a viable opportunity to tackle food supply problems, and that due to its low cost and environmental impact it will be the most efficient option in the near future. The Offshore Mariculture Conference 2017, will be held in conjunction with the National Aquaculture and Fisheries Commission (CONAPESCA), the Regional State Department for Fisheries and Aquaculture (SEPESCA), and Mercator Media Limited.
As a global event, the Offshore Mariculture Conference 2017 represents a great opportunity for attendees to get updated on the latest technological advances, mariculture research and the various species considered to be of great commercial and nutritional importance. Members of the aquaculture industry in general, and those in the business community in the field of the cultivation of marine species, would find the conference extremely useful.
It is also an important occasion for national or foreign investors to take advantage of the ever stronger opportunities in Baja California. The Conference provides an opportunity for them to be briefed on the latest opportunities in Mexico and meet with key players for this sustainable economic activity taking place in an ideal natural environment.
In this globalised world, Mexico also offers commercial advantages because of its geographical location close to two of the most important seafood consumer markets in the world, Canada and the United States. Proximity to the USA also represents a bridge to European and Asian markets, which are the final destination for much of the world’s seafood trade.
In the business field, the State of Baja California and in particular Ensenada, where important fishing and aquaculture industries are located, offers interesting business alternatives for Mexican mariculture, as it will allow investors to become aware of the strong financial government support that this activity receives.
Today mariculture in Mexico has a legal framework that gives the investor security and highly profitable investment opportunities. Mexico also presents an interesting case for becoming one of the most attractive seafood suppliers in the world.
