The 2012 Conference will include an important plenary discussion on ‘The Governance of mariculture in International Waters’.

The programme at the Offshore Mariculture Conference will include an important plenary discussion on ‘The Governance of mariculture in International Waters’ which will feature the Conference Chairman, Neil Sims, Kampachi Farms, Harald Rosenthal, Programme Chair: Aquaculture Forum Bremerhaven, Germany and Alessandro Lovatelli, Aquaculture Officer, FAO.
Together with input from the conference delegates, international developmental actions will be specified and agreed on and a clear indication of the important role an international organisation should assume or be responsible for.
The aim will be to formally adopt a statement that will be a ‘call to action’ for agencies to start to develop the governance structure for aquaculture in International Waters.
