The Big Fish Series:
Is governance the missing ingredient for sustainable aquaculture?
May 12th, 1-2 pm
Dear Colleagues and friends,
Thank you for registering for The Big Fish
Series<https://thebigfishseries.stir.ac.uk/> free online seminars brought to you by
the University of Stirling's Institute of
Aquaculture<https://www.stir.ac.uk/about/faculties/natural-sciences/aquaculture/>
and co-hosts. The purpose of this series is to highlight Seafood's Roles in
Sustainable Food Systems.
'Is governance the missing ingredient for sustainable aquaculture?' is the fourth
seminar of the series co-hosted by The Centre of Sustainability Governance at Wageningen
University & Research. Register

The Centre for Sustainability Governance at Wageningen University &
Research<https://www.wur.nl/en/About-Wageningen.htm> contributes innovative
approaches for addressing the challenges of governing sustainability from the local to the
global scale. Its mission is strongly integrated in the domains of environment, food and
health, through active collaborations with colleagues from natural and technical science
disciplines.
A team of academics at the Centre have worked closely with a consortium of partners from
around the world to address the challenges of governing aquaculture. The sustainability of
the aquaculture industry is a shared goal among governments and markets around the world.
But achieving sustainability is made challenging by the continued rapid expansion of the
sector. Ensuring sustainability not only depends on improved practice on farms. It also
depends on the governance of the industry. That is, the role that governments, the private
sector, NGOs, certification organisations collectively play in developing legitimate
solutions and opportunities for sustainable innovation.
'Is governance the missing ingredient for sustainable aquaculture?' explores the
role of governance in realising the ambitions of the sector and introduces the Aquaculture
Governance Indicators (AGI) as a framework for assessing the performance of aquaculture
governance around the world.
The seminar will open with a short presentation outlining the research of the AGI provided
by Dr Simon Bush, Wageningen University & Research. This will be followed by a video
mash-up of academic, industry and consumer views and an interactive discussion on the
topic with a diverse panel of experts.
We would like to invite you to participate in the event by providing your views on the
topic in a short 30 second video.
How does the effectiveness of state and private governance effect your ambitions for
sustainable aquaculture?
What challenges do you face in getting support for making changes to your farms?
