The use of natural resources, particularly areas in open sea with aquaculture potential, and the reutilization of inactive areas in estuaries and wetlands;
The institutional involvement, namely concerning the mobilization of administrative structures, resources within the scope of research and development, as well as stimulus to the private investment;
The reinforcement of consumer confidence on the basis of the food quality and safety of the aquaculture products;
The preservation and development of employment and life quality.
