In brief, the WWF's self described "Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue" closed session in Boston over the weekend.
The participants, made up of producers, nongovernmental organizations and other stakeholders, were asked to assess the environmental impact of diseases and parasites and pull together current knowledge on preventing and mitigating these effects on farms and on the environment.
To learn more about each impact related to salmon farming, the Steering Committee for the World Wildlife Fund-initiated Dialogue created technical working groups (TWGs) that drafted a series of “State of Information Reports.” Each report assesses existing research related to an impact, identifies gaps or areas of disagreement in the research and suggests a process for addressing the gaps.
To view the full report, go to http://wwf.worldwildlife.org/site/PageNavigator/SalmonSOIForm.
Reports have been completed for chemical inputs, nutrient loading/carrying capacity, feed, escapes and benthic impacts/sitting.
