Objective
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.
The positive effects of extensive and semi-intensive aquaculture in coastal areas - including environmental protection and restoration in areas of particular ecological interest, employment opportunity and development in rural and coastal areas - have been clearly recognised within EU policy.
The final goal of the SEACASE project is to develop effective tools for maintenance of competitiveness, productivity, 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.
The project will be based on case studies covering a wide variety of production systems and geographical locations (Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Greece), although some basic technological improvements will also be studied. Environmentally-friendly farming protocols will be analyzed and/or developed and certification possibilities will be assessed and proposed for voluntary use by the industry. Quality markers will be studied in order to be able to differentiate aquaculture products from extensive and semi-intensive systems from the ones produced in intensive systems. Some of such markers may also facilitate product trace ability.
A socio-economic assessment of the production systems used in the case studies will be produced. Where possible this analysis will be completed by an assessment of potential non-market benefits and costs, including social and patrimonial aspects. This proposal addresses the key issues and expected outputs defined in Task 8 _ Extensive and semi-intensive coastal aquaculture of the topic 1.3.3 Sustainable aquaculture production of the present call.
