Aquaculture, including sea cages and on-shore ponds

Environmental Impacts: pollution of waterways, loss of shoreline habitat, shallowing of channels, disruption to groundwater, vector for disease to native species, escapes impact on native species, escapes of non-native species, excessive use of antibiotics, eutrophication, biodiversity loss,.... Social & Economic Impacts Reduction in income of true residents (foreign investors gain), loss of livelihood (lives) during fish kills, price increase of associated commodities Environmental Impacts: pollution of coastal waters and habitats, biodiversity loss, increase in pest species,.. Environmental Impacts: Litter, nutrients, boat scours, moorings, other development impacts, Biodiversity loss, coastal erosion, sewage, potable water, vectors of diseases Social & Economic Impacts Transmitted diseases, acculturation, loss of Environmental Impacts Impacts on native species including mammals, reptiles and birds; impacts on fisheries foodchains, aquaculture systems, … Social & Economic Impacts coastal amenity, fishery values, foreshore land values,..
