The campaign is running under the title “EU aquaculture. We work for you with passion”. Developed in collaboration with Member States and the Aquaculture Advisory Council, the campaign is reportedly focusing on raising awareness, understanding and support for the development of aquaculture in the EU. The campaign features nine different species (mussels, trout, clams, sea bream, oysters, carp, salmon, meagre, and seaweed) and aquaculture producers. Through videos, educational content, and a road trip around EU aquaculture sites, the campaign hopes people will gain a better understanding of how the sector works, its benefits, living an immersive experience “from farm to plate”.
