The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) is busy with countrywide public consultations on the Draft Aquaculture Bill.
According to DAFF the bill seeks to create an efficient regulatory regime for the aquaculture sector in order to create an enabling environment to promote aquaculture sector growth. The objectives of the Aquaculture Bill are to promote responsible aquaculture development; promote the development and management of the South African aquaculture sector; promote coordination of aquaculture research and development activities; enable the aquaculture sector to be regulated more effectively, and to promote transformation of the sector.
A session for local role players and interested parties will be held on Thursday 10 March at 10:00 at the Blue Bay Lodge, Saldanha.
