EU Aquaculture Assistance Mechanism

Tools for Assessment and Planning of Aquaculture Sustainability (TAPAS)

Description

TAPAS was a four-year project funded by EU Horizon 2020, aimed at promoting and consolidating the environmental sustainability of the European aquaculture through the development of tools, approaches, and frameworks.

Tangible results: The project developed an Aquaculture Toolbox containing guidance and tools for the planning and licensing of aquaculture in Europe, to assist planners and applicants at each stage of the licensing process, from site selection to post-licensing compliance.

Application/relevance: The Toolbox supports EU Member States in establishing a coherent and efficient regulatory framework, implementing the Strategic Guidelines for the sustainable development of European aquaculture, and delivering a technology and decision framework for sustainable growth.
