Giles H (2019) Environmental management of New Zealand aquaculture: the science perspective. Pisces Consulting.
This report explores the environmental management of aquaculture in New Zealand from the science perspective. It provides insights into the role of science in environmental management processes, describes challenges, identifies opportunities and, through the broad range of aspects covered, presents ideas for improving the value and effectiveness of science in the environmental management of aquaculture as well as other activities and stressors.
The aim of this report is to stimulate reflection, new ideas and discussions. It provides high-level recommendations to support improved decision-making in environmental management processes, suggestions in relation to aquaculture-specific matters and concludes with some thoughts on scientific considerations for proposed resource management reforms.
This report accompanies a project by the Environmental Defence Society (EDS) that investigated potential future legal and policy arrangements for aquaculture in New Zealand. The EDS project report ‘Farming the Sea’ by Raewyn Peart has recently been published and can be downloaded at www.eds.org.nz/our-work/publications/books/.
