This document is a report detailing various research projects focused on aquaculture development in Belgium, particularly involving the Colruyt Group. The report outlines several initiatives, starting from 2014 with AquaValue, which aimed to create a roadmap for integrated aquaculture in Flanders. Subsequent projects, such as SeaConomy and North Sea Aquaculture, explored the potential of the Flemish seaweed economy and addressed challenges related to innovative cultivation techniques and market development for marine products. Specific projects like Edulis and Value@Sea investigated the feasibility of mussel and oyster farming in offshore environments. The report also discusses the SYMAPA project, which examined synergies between mariculture and passive fishing, and the United project, which promotes multiple use of marine space. Lastly, it mentions BlueMarine³.Com, focusing on enhancing natural seed occurrence in the North Sea. The document concludes with Colruyt Group's commitment to ongoing innovation and education in aquaculture.
