CEFAS25-57
Description
The aim of this project is to establish an aquaculture data hub. This will provide a mapping interface with search and querying functionality to access information on aquaculture locations, sectoral production statistics and environmental performance, and host key position papers for the industry in one place, providing an essential resource for regulators (Defra, Cefas, MMO) policy teams, industry, researchers and the wider public. Importantly, the website will address a primary recommendation of the English Aquaculture Strategy (2020), published by Poseidon, which identified the limited availability of comprehensive information as a barrier to the development of the Aquaculture industry.
The services covered under this procurement include stakeholder mapping and consultation, website development, governance and publicity.
