Aquaculture Europe 2008 is the second of the new format Aquaculture Europe events, that combines a scientific conference with a trade exhibition. The interface between these two main features–the industry forum-will be filled by special events, including an industry or farmers day, workshops for industry and the Aquaculture Europe 2008 student forum. As always, various social events will be a part of the Aquaculture Europe meeting.

The theme of Aquaculture Europe 2008, Resource Management, addresses the natural, human and material resources for the sustainable development of aquaculture. The Water Framework Directive (2000/60/E) is the most substantial piece of water legislation ever produced by the European Commission. It requires that all inland and coastal waters within defined river basin districts must reach at least good status by 2015 and defines how this should be achieved through the establishment of environmental objectives and ecological targets for surface waters. This will be just one focus of Aquaculture Europe 2008.
