“…Consequently, inclusion of sustainability in the development policies of the subnational territories, known as Regions in Chile, has ceased to constitute an alternative option for the State institutions, and has become an imperative due to the challenges imposed by global-scale change [2]. Nonetheless, there is no unequivocal consensus in the national public policies themselves, or in the international literature regarding the definition of the concept of development [3][4][5][6] or of sustainable development.…”

Sustainability Assessment in Development Planning in Sub-National Territories: Regional Development Strategies in Chile

Abstract:In Chile, the increasing occurrence of socio-environmental conflicts demonstrates that Regional Development Strategies-Estrategia Regional de Desarrollo (ERD)-as the main development policy of subnational territories (Regions), must consider sustainability as a central objective. The Taxonomy of Sustainability constitutes an assessment method that allows us to determine the correlation between the definitions of these public policies and the strategies for transition to sustainable development. The ERD of the Antofagasta and Aysén regions are the ones presenting the highest Taxonomic Index; this indicates a higher strategic content for the promotion of sustainability. It is also noted that the political will that conditions the principles and values on which the ERD are based is strongly determined by investment projects and socio-environmental conflicts, which represent the tension between environmental protection and the capacity and interests of regional society in the development project.

“…In this contextual setting, Krause et al (2015) showed that most socio-economic analysis to date deal mainly with the effects of salmon or shrimp farming, and to a lesser extent with e.g. Pangasius and Tilapia, as well as filter feeders (such as Crassostrea gigas) and seaweeds (such as Kappaphycus alvarezii and K. striatum as well as Eucheuma denticulatum) (see Buanes et al 2004;Barton and Fløysand 2010;Fröcklin et al 2012;Stonich and Bailey 2000;Joyce and Satterfield 2010;Sievanen et al 2005;Buchholz et al 2012). In order to promote the sustainable co-existence of uses and, where applicable, the appropriate apportionment of relevant uses in the offshore realm, a framework should be put in place that consists at least of the establishment and implementation by Member States of maritime spatial planning, resulting in plans.…”

Aquaculture Perspective of Multi-Use Sites in the Open Ocean

Decision-making within the marine realm is a complex process, which endorses ecological, societal and economic needs and they must therefore be managed jointly. Much of the formerly "free oceans" is nowadays subject to intensive uses, thus making the need to optimise the management of the resources within a multifunctional and multi-use(r) context apparent. The high competition for functions and uses of inshore and nearshore waters has given strong incentives to investigate the opportunities of moving industrial activities offshore. The current raise of offshore aquaculture is one prominent example of this. However, our understanding of the social dimensions and effects of offshore aquaculture is yet incomplete. We need to consider also how different multi-use settings for offshore aquaculture affect the socio-economic outcomes on various levels. During the development of offshore aquaculture, this multifunctional perspective has emerged especially for the combination with offshore wind farms. This synergy of two different stakeholders, the so-called multifunctional utilisation of marine areas, can be viewed as a new concept by the implementation of integrated, consensus-based resource planning conditions. We suggest a typology of social dimensions of marine aquaculture, based on the literature of "traditional" nearshore aquaculture. Based on this typology we discuss the current level of knowledge on the socio-economic dimensions of multi-use offshore aquaculture and point to further research needs.

“…From 2005 to 2015, imports of salmon increased 6.8 times, in spite of an 18 % reduction in 2010 after a crash in the Chilean salmon industry, whose production levels declined from 650,000 to 400,000 MT as a result of infestation with infectious salmon anemia (ISA) of farmed stocks (Barton and Floysand, 2010;Estima et al, 2014). In the same period, salmonid trout (as defined by Salán et al, 2006) imports grew by 350 %, rising from 1,249 to 5,619.5 MT, an indication of the capture of a share of the salmon market in Brazil by the salmonid trout industry.…”

Along the last ten years fish and fishery product trade in Brazil has been on a downward trajectory turning a profit of US$ 98.6 million in 2005 into a loss of US$ 1.25 billion by 2014. On the other hand, the country is a leading producer of grains and has the third largest animal feed industry in the world, which has added 5.5 million hectares of freshwater reservoirs and 3.5 million km 2 of an exclusive marine economic zone in the same period, a sizable potential for development of the aquaculture industry. This study aims at unveiling strategies for the reduction of the deficit in the Brazilian seafood trade balance, based on critical analysis of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of imported fishery products. The fish and fishery product trade in Brazil, from 2005 to 2015, was studied considering import and export data mined from the Brazilian Ministry of Development, Industry and Commerce databases through the Aliceweb system, and clustered as follows: processing; product species; origin; conservation; and group.The main imported products were gutted fresh fish, highest price (salmon); salted dried fish, higher price (cod); frozen fish fillets, lowest price (fish and hake). The replacement of fish imports by domestic production is not enough to enable consumers to identify the equivalence between products (technical, qualitative or organoleptic). Developing strategies for the production of fish and fishery products at competitive prices and quantities that meet consumer demand is an immediate need, and the development of the aquaculture industry a rational strategy.
