Description:
European policy intends to expand the space available to aquaculture by cultivating sites that are offshore. This presents challenges in terms of building structures, e.g., fish cages that withstand the effects of offshore weather conditions along the Atlantic coast. In order to establish possible future sites for offshore aquaculture production AtlantOS T8.5 gathered relevant wave, current velocity and water column structure measurements from the coasts of Ireland, Norway and Spain and used these data to validate site assessment models of the potential new offshore aquaculture sites. This deliverable report assesses the fitness for purpose of the generic aquaculture decision support tool developed.
