Project Activities Summary
The goal of the SEACASE project is to develop effective tools for maintenance of competitiveness, productivty, profitability and thus sustainability of extensive and semi-intensive aquaculture production in Southern Europe, while minimizing its environmental impacts and improving the quality and public image of its products. Traditional extensive coastal and semi-intensive aquaculture systems in Southern Europe are facing difficulties, especially due to increased competition for coastal areas by other candidate users and market competition, due to low-price products from intensive aquaculture. However, extensive and semi-intensive aquaculture in coastal have recognized positive effects including environmental protection and restoration in areas of particular ecological interest, employment opportunity and development in rural and coastal areas.
