CCB position paper on sustainable aquaculture in the Baltic Sea region
CCB • March 13, 2014
CCB member organisations has worked together to create a statement on what the potential and limits to growth the aquaculture sector has in our region. Proper risk management and not jeopardizing existing goals in legislation such as CFP, MSFD and HELCOMs BSAP are important elements. To keep pushing for new technique and feeds must be a regional ambition. CCB does not favor placing open cage systems in the marine environment as this is connected with too many problems that can’t fully be controlled today. It’s important that national aquaculture strategies adhere to common goals and principles shared by all countries in the Baltic Region.
In 2022, amid the devastation caused by Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a small but meaningful crowdfunding initiative - #ASeedForReblooming - was launched to support landscape architect Nina Radchenko .

The EU Fisheries Council have agreed to a roll-over of current eel fishing closures in EU waters to protect the 2026/2027 eel migrations. Regrettably the well-intentioned provision now contains so many derogations that the measure is not effective. The ban on recreational eel fishing in EU waters remain. In the Mediterranean region, measures apply in all waters, including freshwater, in line with the GFCM Recommendation [1] on eel.
