ANALYSIS

Strengths
  • The MoAF assesses the risk of eutrophication from established marine farms on coastal water bodies using the TRIX Index
Weaknesses
  • There is a lack of public information on key performance indicators from the regulatory bodies. This includes information on licensing outcomes and enforcement, farm-level water quality thresholds and outcomes, disease outbreaks, and control measures.
