Ecosystem Approach Is Focus of International Aquaculture Workshop More than 65 experts from around the world recently participated in the first International Workshop on the Role of Aquaculture in Integrated Coastal Management, held in Hawaii, April 18-21, 2005. Co-sponsored by several NOAA programs, and facilitated by the Oceanic Institute, this unique workshop drew aquaculturists, ecologists, biologists, ecosystem modelers, coastal managers, and resource managers from the United States, Canada, China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Chile, Malaysia, Sweden, and Taiwan. Participants focused on marine aquaculture as a technology to improve ecological functions, carrying capacity and economic sustainability. Outcomes from the workshop will include a set of universal guiding principles for coastal ecosystem managers for marine aquaculture, and a set of siting considerations for placement of aquaculture in coastal ecosystems.
