Aquaculture in your region
West Coast Regional Council
Background
To date, demand for aquaculture space has not been great on the West Coast.
Current status
The West Coast Regional Council is aware that there may be further opportunities for marine farming elsewhere in the region. Council may consider an Aquaculture Management Area planning process if industry signals an interest in developing here.
