Abstract

Cage culture is a fast growing industry all over the world and demands good environmental practices to assure sustainability. The sustained development of coastal aquaculture has reached a good understanding with the environment, respecting it and undertaking actions that tend to diminish the possible impacts that may arise from this activity. In order to do so, measures are to be taken in production to avoid degrading the environment, whilst still being appropriate, economically viable and socially acceptable. In this sense, it has been considered necessary to develop some basic environmental strategies to assure the best site for the aquaculture purposes, avoiding possible confrontations with other coastal uses.
