2. Literature Study, Desk Research 9 2.1 Marine parks As mentioned above, InnovationNetwork developed the concept of marine parks several years ago in order to address issues of increasing demand for seafood and aquatic biomass in a sustainable way. Increases in the world population will increase the demand for products from the sea (e.g. food, feed and fuel). At present, the amount of fish retrieved from the sea has already reached its ecological limits, although the market size (e.g. for branded frozen fish and seafood) in Europe continues to grow (see Table 1). Name Fish and seafood 2001 3 319 2002 3 523 2003 3 642 2004 3 711 2005 3 714 Moreover, the worldâs major fishing areas and 69 % of its major fish species are in decline. Meeting the increasing demands of a growing global population will require increasing production at sea in a sustainable manner. Aquaculture, which also includes the farming of seaweeds, is a fast growing sector (World Wildlife Fund, 2010). At present, onshore aquaculture is growing, but not in a sustainable way. Moreover, several studies have shown that current ocean-based fishfarming technology is not sustainable. For example, salmon farming is associated with major concerns that the chemicals needed to kill sea lice may also affect crabs, lobsters and copepods (Scientific American, 2010).
