Advancing Sustainable Aquaculture Development

Dear Aquaculture Stakeholders,

The Ministry of Fisheries is committed to promoting the sustainable development of aquaculture as a vital component of our nation's food security and economic growth. In line with this commitment, we are launching initiatives to enhance the sustainability of aquaculture practices and mitigate their environmental impact.

Key objectives of these initiatives include:

• Encouraging the adoption of best management practices (BMPs) to minimize environmental pollution and habitat degradation.

• Facilitating research and innovation to improve aquaculture efficiency and reduce reliance on wild-caught fish for feed.

• Strengthening regulatory frameworks to ensure compliance with environmental standards and promote responsible aquaculture development.

• Providing support and incentives for small-scale aquaculture enterprises to promote inclusive and equitable growth in the sector.

We invite all stakeholders in the aquaculture industry to actively participate in these efforts and contribute to the sustainable development of aquaculture in our country.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to sustainability.
