Start year 2008 End year 2014 Funding (€) € NA Website http://www.fao.org/gfcm/activities/aquaculture/projects/indam Summary The aims of InDAM, through a participatory and multidisciplinary approach, are to provide policy makers and relevant stakeholders, with a comprehensive decision support tool regarding sustainable aquaculture development in the Mediterranean. This tool is based on the production of sets of indicators and relative reference points and standards to guide, evaluate and provide incentives towards, the sustainable development of Mediterranean aquaculture in its four dimensions (social, economic, environmental and governance) and within an ecosystem based framework.
The project has 3 main outputs as follows: (1) A consensus on the definition of "sustainability" of aquaculture development in the Mediterranean within the framework of an ecosystem approach to aquaculture is established; (2) Relevant documentation on aquaculture sustainability is gathered and regularly updated and proper synergies between other projects related to sustainable development of aquaculture and the GFCM - Working Group on Aquaculture Sustainability are identified and developed; (3) The most suitable and workable sets of indicators and reference points guiding the sustainable development of Mediterranean aquaculture are established (as a result of regional multidisciplinary cooperation and feedback from stakeholders).
