There are about 590 marine farms in Marlborough.
OPINION: Soon the submission period for the Aquaculture Chapter (Variations 1 and 1A for mussel farming and finfish farming) of the Proposed Marlborough Environment Plan (pMEP) is closing. The Marlborough District Council raised concerns that earlier drafts of the MEP were not consistent with the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement. Of particular concern was compliance with Policy 8 of the statement, which requires the acknowledgement that aquaculture contributes to the general well-being of communities through allocation of the activity in appropriate places. The Marlborough Sounds iconic landscape has faced continuous challenges over the years with ever higher demands for economic outputs from land and marine based sources.
