3 The InDAM Project framework Definition: InDAM Project; Indicators for Sustainable Development of Aquaculture and Guidelines for their use in the Mediterranean. Aim: Assist the GFCM countries in the elaboration of a consensus definition and guidance towards aquaculture sustainability in the Mediterranean region. Working Group on Sustainability (WGS) InDAM Project

5 PCI Approach Conceptual Framework. Principio Principle Representation of Sustainable Development Objectives towards Sustainability Criterio Criteria Criterio Criteria Criterio Criteria Diagnosis of the system Variables Indicador Indicator Indicador Indicator Indicador Indicator Indicador Indicator Indicador Indicator Indicador Indicator Information Data and values obtained or calculated [EVAD: Evaluation of aquaculture system sustainability.

6 Principles; Definition. Principles: From Latin principium = what serve as a basis for the action to be taken towards an objective of sustainability. Should have general scope and acceptance. Should be consider as a rule or habit. Should be formulated as short statements, with actions verbs; Contribute, ensure, adapts, strength Examples: Economic D. = Strength the Total Economic Value of the ecosystem. Social D. = Contribute to health and safety of workers. Environment D. = Minimize the impact of the activities on the environ. Governance D. = Promote participation in decision making process.

7 Criteria; Definition. Criteria: Like a second-order principle. Brake down of Principles into several homogeneous elements to link with the characteristic of the system. Should have a more specific scope related to the issues. Should identify variables. Should be formulated expressing the degree or state of the variable. Level of Control of Existence of Access to Capacity of Examples: Economic D. = Enrichment of biodiversity and comercial species. Social D. = Existence of efective health and safety plans. Environment D.= Control of feeding eficiency. Governance D. = Level of participation of stakeholders.

8 Indicators; Definitions. Indicators: A simple way to express the information related to a variable or a process. Indicators are communication tools which serve to quantify and simplify information in order to make it comprehensive to a target audience. They are tools to assist monitoring, evaluation, forecasting and decision making. Indicators illustrate the variation observed according to the available data. They serve to judge if an action is effective or not.

9 Indicators; Attributes or qualities. Attribute Relevance to criteria and principle Understandability Reliability Reproducibility/verifiability Data availability Permanence on time Transparency Availability of reference values Acceptability / appropriateness Robustness Definition it is relevant to goals of endorsed criteria and principle. it is clear and perceived by all stakeholders in the same manner and is easily communicated. it has a sound scientific base and methodology with successful previous use. it is capable of being reproducible at different time and places with verifiable results. it is estimated/produced using available information/data or can be estimated/produced with reasonable cost/effort. It last on the medium long term, it is accessible by all stakeholders. it can be compared/monitored with some readily available reference points. it is endorsed by different stakeholders. it is difficult to manipulate

10 Indicators; Examples. Economic D. = Enrichment of biodiversity and commercial species. Number of new species of commercial interest. Social D. = Existence of efective health and safety plans. Yes/no Environment D.= Control of feeding eficiency. FCR Governance D. = Level of participation of stakeholders. Number of participants at consultative meetings.

16 Methodology associated to the process. Step IV. Data collection and reference values. Identification of Principles as objectives of sustainability. From data base: Rio Conference and existing sustainable management reference frameworks, previous experiences InDAM Identification of Criteria as variables to describe the principles. From existing data base or collected by experts. Identification of Indicators to measure the variables. Validate from attributes Existing standards and reference points.
