ANALYSIS
Strengths
- The licensing process in Marlborough is transparent, comprehensive, subject to public consultation, and is embedded in a planning system that accounts for other resource users, potential cumulative impacts, and supports the creation of aquaculture management areas and disease control zones
Weaknesses
- Third-party audits of farms against the A+ New Zealand Sustainable Aquaculture Framework take place every few years as opposed to annually and there is currently little information on any improvement recommendations for farms not meeting its best practice standards.
