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.
