Aquaculture Planning

and Engineering
 # Two parts.
1. Aquaculture planning and
2. Aquaculture engineering.
Aquaculture planning:
• Stimulate and guide the culture system,
• Providing incentives and safeguards,
• Attracting investments and boosting developments,
• Ensuring long term sustainability.
Policy:
• is a system of principles to guide decisions and
achieve outcomes.
• Which outlines what a government is going to do
and what can achieve for society.
Ordinance:
- local level laws that are introduced and passed by
municipalities and apply within city limits, used
for the municipality.
- do not cover a large area.
• Act:
- a piece of legislation that is more specific and
applies to particular circumstances.
- passed by legislators in the parliament.
- used for the country as a whole.
- can covering different areas.
• Outcome of planning process – policy making –
the processes by which Govt. translate vision into
programs and actions to deliver desired changes.
• Planning:
- logical and rational process,
- involves formulating policy, strategy and plan,
- have a specific role,
- can be linked together,
- Policy: stand alone document, complemented by
strategy and plan,
Policy: broad vision; reflecting directions, priorities
and development goals at various levels.

Strategy: a roadmap for implementation of policy

and contains objectives, targets and instruments.
Plan: a roadmap for implementation of strategy
or to achieve objectives and implement them. Is
time bound, contains programs and activities
required to achieve them.
-Policy making or planning should follow a three
stage hierarchical order which indicates how
one moves from policy to implementation.
-At top, is a statement of policy goals which are
broad and qualitative, underpinned by broad
vision statement and based on identification of
problems and issues.
-Now comes strategy – provide a set of objectives
to meet policy goals which are qualitative or
quantitative or both.
•The third stage – plans or activities – focuses on
steps to implement policy, i. e. how, what, who
and when.
•Contains instruments and activities to achieve
each strategy objective.
•Plans should – have a time frame, allocate
responsibility, be prioritized, identify the suitable
funds.
•Linkage among the three stages of planning for
aquaculture development -
