Sub-sector Value of Mariculture production (ZAR’millions)

 43 farm closure notices issued to shellfish farms in 2010; 31 west of Cape Point and 12 east of Cape Point.  Bio-toxins (Harmful Algal Blooms and Paralytic/Diarrhetic Shellfish Poison associated with upwelling), remainder due to presence of microbiological contamination (E. coli during high rainfall season). Highlight of Government Interventions

 No closures due to other hazardous substances viz. heavy metals, pesticides, PCBs and radionuclides although risk is significant on shellfish.  Aquaculture’s contribution to environmental change is considered to be minimal.  Environmental Management and Monitoring Framework for mariculture being drafted.  Sector specific strategy and incentives under consideration Highlight of Government Interventions
