Circular aquaculture governance

Aquaculture is one of the fastest expanding food sectors in the world. At the same time the sector has come under considerable pressure to improve the efficiency and sustainability of resource use. In other words, how can the sector become more circular?

Students taking up this topic will research governance approaches with ambitions to steer towards circular aquaculture systems. Opportunities for fieldwork are global, most likely working through the Global Seafood Alliance or the Monterrey Bay Seafood Watch Programme.
