Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Fishing Industry: Discussion
5:00 pm
Dr. Peter Heffernan:
The licensing conditions that prevail for the operation of aquaculture in the sea protect against environmental degradation. There is a very rigorous, independent monitoring programme on a number of parameters for it and I am happy to stand over the rigorous and independent nature of the aquaculture monitoring programmes we are associated with. It can be done in a sustainable manner.
