ANALYSIS
Strengths
- The regional government has identified the need for freshwater aquaculture zones based on the carrying capacity of the water body under a regional land-use spatial plan (RTRWP)
Weaknesses
- There is no evidence that freshwater aquaculture zones have been established under the spatial plan (RTRWP) or that carrying-capacity studies have been used to determine these or maximum pollutant loads from farms.
