Fisheries, Aquaculture and Coastal Water Developments

Abstract

We propose the limitation of fisheries, the expansion of aquaculture, restocking and stock enhancement trough hatchery proliferation, to produce more aquatic food. Multiplication of artificial reefs, filter feeders and algae on long lines, of marine protected areas in coastal waters, allows also to reduce chemical and plastic pollutions and limit water acidification. All these improvements are sometimes better valued by tourism and leisure activities than by professional fishing and gives an increased economical value to all aspects to these environments.
