- Supplemental Information
- This dataset supports part of a review on "Spatial analysis for the sustainable development of off-the-coast and offshore aquaculture from a global perspective" to support an FAO offshore mariculture initiative. The initiative attempts to collect global information on the potential for mariculture development (off-the-coast and offshore) considering technical, biological, spatial, environmental, socio-economic, legal and policy issues and to identify major opportunities and challenges to act upon at the relevant level by FAO, its Member States and other stakeholders for the industry to expand sustainably.
