Vision for sustainable aquaculture

The Vision for sustainable aquaculture describes the Scottish Government’s long-term aspirations to 2045 for the finfish, shellfish and seaweed farming sectors, and the wider aquaculture supply chain.


Annex C

Impact Assessments

During development of the Vision for Sustainable Aquaculture we have considered the need to carry out impact assessments such as a Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment (BRIA) and Strategic Environment Assessment (SEA). Following pre-assessment scoping it was determined that no full impact assessments would be required at this time as the Vision does not enact any new direct policies or legislation.

Subsequent policy work carried out as a result of the Vision’s outcomes will consider the need for full impact assessments.

Relevant pre-assessment screening documents are available to view on the Scottish Government publications webpage.
