  4. Planning Policy & Regulation • Need to define Offshore - including the different concepts that define the conditions for offshore aquaculture • Need to improve the knowledge gap – obtain more baseline data from offshore regions • An integrated approach to CZM is necessary – with interactions between the different stakeholders • Current industry management initiatives (eg SBM, AMA’) are just as important in the offshore context, particularly in developing environmental codes of practice • Should be initiative from administration to apply some minimum level of insurance for the industry going offshore

  5. Technology • Better communication between cage manufacturer and net manufacturer • Farmers are fed up being used as test sites and its time we had publicly funded test sites • Communication systems critical to understand what is going on at all times • Mortality management – big issue with larger cages • Harvesting is big concern – access issues

  6. Biological considerations • What is the definition – energy, distance, open ocean • Huge emphasis on monitoring both baseline and continuous • Bio-availability and polyculture possibilities • Food sources and sustainability issues • Better knowledge of the species – will they survive out there • Health and safety issues • Disaster management and risk assessment • Remote sensing eg, biomass monitoring • Biological impacts – acceptible levels, sustainability
