Start year 2008 End year 2014 Funding (€) € 871,000 Website https://medblueconomyplatform.org/ar/vkc/initiatives/developing-sitting-and-carrying-capacity-guidelines-for-mediterranean-aquaculture-within-aquaculture-appropriate-areas-f7f9ed3479/ Summary The SHoCMed Project aims at producing criteria for enhancing the integration of aquaculture in ICZM by improving site selection and holding capacity benchmarks and reference points. This will also provide a base for harmonisation of standards, and as appropriate aquaculture policy and legal frameworks, across the Mediterranean ensuring equal terms of competition and minimal environmental damage.
The project has 3 main outputs as follows: (1) Completion of the preliminary study to design the best strategy to achieve consensus on site selection and establishment of Mediterranean standards for carrying/holding capacity of aquaculture farms; (2) Production of criteria and related guidelines (including standards) for aquaculture site selection in the GFCM region; (3) Issues regarding carrying capacity of aquaculture sites and carrying capacity standards and identification of Environmental Quality Standards (EQS).
