VISION statement:

"Aquaculture in 2030 will produce nutritious food with less environmental footprints than any other food production for humans."

Identified KEY GOALS:

1. To establish fundamental scientific knowledge on the assimilation capacity of biogenic wastes from aquaculture to determine acceptable emission rates for benthic and pelagic ecosystems (Biogenic waste assimilation in ecosystems).
2. To establish technology to minimise emission of biogenic matter from aquaculture and to minimize the potential environmental influence of the actual emissions by means of
   environmental management and integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (Technology
   to minimise biogenic influence).
3. To understand the fate and cumulative effects of synthetic agents used in aquaculture
   and minimizing their impact on the environment (Fate of synthetic agents in ecosystem).
4. To establish more fundamental knowledge to understand the interactions between farmed and wild stocks, including wildlife (Interactions of farmed and wild stocks).
5. To develop or adapt tools and measures in support of appropriate environmental governance for aquaculture (Tools for environmental governance)
