ANALYSIS
Strengths
- The MMAF and the provincial government in consultation with the public, have produced a coastal and marine spatial plan (RZWP3K) that identifies multiple aquaculture zones and states the need to base these on an ecosystem’s carrying capacity.
Weaknesses
- There is a lack of public information to assess the effectiveness of shrimp farm management and associated legislation. For example, there is no information on farm licenses and permits, water quality, membership of producer organizations, and limited information on source fisheries used in feed manufacture.
