The OrAqua project (FP7) aimed to support the sustainable development of organic aquaculture in Europe by reviewing and improving the EU regulatory framework, particularly Regulation (EC) No. 710/2009. Coordinated by NOFIMA AS, the project involved research institutions and stakeholders across Europe. Key objectives included assessing current technical rules, developing evidence-based recommendations, and producing technical dossiers following EGTOP guidelines. Using a participatory, multi-actor approach, OrAqua addressed species-specific production, animal welfare, environmental impacts, and market aspects. Its results provide actionable guidance for regulators and producers, promoting innovation, sustainability, and growth in European organic aquaculture.
