In the wake of the Regional Aquaculture Conference organized in Bari, Italy, a decade ago, this second regional conference in Greece is a pivotal milestone.
With a focus on evaluating the progress made by aquaculture towards the objectives set in the GFCM 2030 Strategy and ensuring harmonization with relevant global instruments such as Blue Transformation and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), this conference will also provide the required elements to address emerging challenges and set up the ambitions for the next decade.
This undertaking involves addressing regional and national governance, economic, social, and environmental aspects as well as emerging issues such as climate change, impact of non-indigenous species and spatial management.
To address these ambitious objectives, the Conference aspire to reignite political commitment among all stakeholders and fostering a collective dedication to propelling aquaculture forward to consolidate it as a key pillar for region´s livelihoods and food security.
Formal invitations, the conference programme and a complete website, will follow.
