The aquaculture industry is licenced in South Australia because
it can potentially impact upon marine and freshwater environments.
The EPA assesses and provides comment on aquaculture licence applications,
variation of licence conditions and lease conversions, all of
which are managed by the Department
of Primary Industries and Resources, SA. The EPA is represented
on the Aquaculture Advisory Committee, which advises the minister
responsible for administering the Aquaculture Act on any matter
relating to aquaculture.
