ATLANTIC AQUACULTURE NETWORK

The Atlantic Aquaculture Network, in the context of ASTRAL, is the effort to gather stakeholders and exert networking influence towards “promoting institutional changes in aquaculture management”, aiming at social acceptance, reputational capital and social license.

The backbone of the Network is the Aquaculture Helix, a virtual community and marketplace around ASTRAL to support its long-term establishment. Through the Helix, the Atlantic Aquaculture Network will provide a community for understanding and applying a sustainable harnessing of Atlantic Ocean resources. It will bring together and systematically connect industrial partners, SMEs, scientists, policymakers, social representatives and other stakeholders, promoting data exchange, knowledge sharing, business opportunities and capacity building. Moreover, it will substantiate an initial marketplace for IMTA. Other activities in and around ASTRAL complement the activities of the Atlantic Aquaculture Network.

Engage with the Atlantic Aquaculture Network by subscribing to ASTRAL’s newsletter and following ASTRAL’s social media: Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube.
