Climate and economic resilience, governance, innovation, research, data collection and animal welfare are key pillars for the sustainable growth of aquaculture in the region. Representatives from over 30 countries gathered on 5 December in Heraklion, Greece, at the “Shaping the future of aquaculture in the Mediterranean and Black Sea Region,” conference. The two-day event is the region’s largest regional aquaculture conference. Organized by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Government of Greece, with the financial support of the European Union, it marked a pivotal moment for the future growth of the aquaculture sector. Within the context of the goals and objectives set out in the GFCM 2030 Strategy, the conference reviewed the progress achieved since the inaugural regional conference held ten years ago in Bari, Italy, and deliberated on how to embrace innovation and sustainability, boost resilience and unlock the full potential of aquaculture in the region to achieve and surpass those goals. Aquaculture is becoming increasingly vital for food security, employment and economic development in the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions. Over the past decade, the sector has witnessed remarkable growth, with marine and brackish water aquaculture production soaring by 91 percent and revenues climbing by 74 percent.
