A social and economic impact assessment of cockle mortality in the Burry Inlet and Three Rivers cockle fisheries, South Wales UK

Mortalities of larger, more valuable cockle 2 and 3 year-classes have recurred on the Burry Inlet (Loughour) Estuary (BI) since 2002 and on the nearby Three Rivers Estuary (TR) since 2005. The aim of this report is to estimate the economic impact of the mortality on the south Wales cockle industry, related businesses and wider Welsh economy. Stakeholder interviews, direct observation, secondary literature, production and price data supplied by industry and government agencies is used to characterise value-chains, historic livelihood, regulatory and production trends.

Complementary Benefits of Alternative Energy: Suitability of Offshore Wind Farms as Aquaculture Sites

The large scale growth in salmon production in the UK has resulted in most available near shore finfish sites being used up for finfish farming. The development of offshore sites or technology improvements alone hold the key for the sustained growth of the UK aquaculture industry. The offshore wind industry has been rapidly expanding in the UK and will occupy major amount of coastal offshore space when zoning plans are developed. The prospects for using the offshore wind farm areas for aquaculture production (finfish and other species) has the potential to open up new sites for finfish farming in the UK. This work examined the suitability of aquaculture in offshore wind farms from the point of view of all the stakeholders involved.
