The presentation will focus on the aquaculture planning in Morocco, which
is a pillar and an essential lever for the development of a responsible and
sustainable aquaculture. By adopting a relevant and well-structured approach,
ANDA has initiated a genuine planning program that strives to reconcile
economic and environmental imperatives while ensuring the balanced
growth of the aquaculture sector. This program has covered up to now
about 1700 km of the Moroccan coast. The conception of each aquaculture
development plan follows four key steps carried out in chronological order: 1)
Establishing background assessment of areas subject to planning, 2) Study
of the Environmental Characteristics of the dedicated appropriate areas, 3)
Establishing of aquaculture planning scheme and 4) Environmental impact
assessment and Environmental and Social Management Plan.
