120 GFCM:XXXV/2011/Dma.9 In Cataluña, the coastal zone plan for aquaculture defines the locations for setting up aquaculture facilities, with provisions for proximity to the coast and excluding areas with Posidonia, marine protected areas, ports and harbours, touristic areas, etc. Finally, Andalusia has published, in 2006, the ‘suitable zones for aquaculture development in maritime and coastal zones in Andalusia’, identifying incompatibilities between aquaculture and other coastal uses in order to contribute to the sustainable development of aquaculture. In Italy, the Sicilian region approved, in 2008, the decree on the “linee guida per la realizzazione di impianti di maricoltura in Sicilia”, with the main aim of achieving integrated management of the coastal area. The objectives of the guide are to set the criteria for (i) the identification of marine areas potentially suitable to the mariculture in Sicily; (ii) the identification of land space for the construction of facilities for fry, livestock and related infrastructure; (iii) providing guidance for monitoring the activities. Noteworthy is that the strategies of punctiform planning developed in the early eighties are no longer viable. For example, in Greece, due to the great length of the coastline and the difficulties for ICZM, concessions were provided case-by-case. However, the Supreme Court decided that this is unacceptable so the administration should provide areas for aquaculture and only in such locations should farms be established 8.4.1 Scientific basis for site selection: carrying/holding capacity Simard et al. (2008) emphasise the capacity of a site to support aquaculture, i.e. carrying capacity, as the scientific basis for site selection. In the Mediterranean region, apparently 40% of the countries surveyed have standards for carrying/holding capacity. Nevertheless, the definition and applicability of standards related to this is quite heterogeneous. In Egypt, the government (through the GAFRD) owns three aquaculture farms as accepted models. In other countries such as Morocco, even though there are no standards, it is required to operate in an area of less than 10% of the total area of a coastal or marine ecosystem well defined and bounded physically. In Cyprus, standards are specified and examined within the frameworks of the EIA by the environmental authorities. Similarly, Greece affirms to have standards for carrying/holding capacity of aquaculture farms. On the other hand, Croatia, Tunisia, Turkey, Italy, Israel and Albania declare to not having any standards for carrying/holding capacity. Considering these standards as a key tool for site selection and aquaculture planning, establishment of common guidelines or criteria at the Mediterranean level seems to be much needed. 120
