Gui Guidel elines ines fo for the the aquacultur aquaculture indus ndustry ry in in the the Baltic Baltic Sea Sea

The document should:

• utline the rules of sustainable and responsible management of

aquaculture (mariculture) in the Baltic Sea.

• should take into account the unique natural conditions of the

Baltic Sea (large salinity gradient, sub‐regional differences in temperature, low biodiversity).

• should specify requirements for the risk assessment in relation to

introduction of non‐indigenous and locally absent species in the Baltic Sea as well as define regional coordination of national activities.

Measure type 2 a; Policy documents:

• COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 708/2007 of 11 June

2007 concerning use of alien and locally absent species in aquaculture;

• REGULATION (EU) No 1143/2014 OF THE EUROPEAN

PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 22 October 2014

• n the prevention and management of the introduction

and spread of invasive alien species.
