VISION statement:

"To build a sustainable, cost-effective competitive advantage through the production of high quality, healthy, nutritious and safe seafood, accompanied by scientific data documenting these facts and communicating these effectively to relevant interests groups and consumers."

Identified KEY GOALS:

1. To maximise the health benefits of aquaculture products
2. To ensure the continuing safety of aquaculture products
3. To deliver high quality European aquaculture products - fully meeting consumer expectations including appearance, taste, texture, nutrition and provenance claims
4. To understand the dynamics of European seafood markets
