The annual general assembly of the Aquaculture Advisory Council (AAC) in September this year was held online due to the pandemic. The virtual setting had, however, no impact on the level of debate which has characterised this organisation’s meetings. In his address, Virginius Sinkevičius, Commissioner for Environment, Oceans, and Fisheries, welcomed the advice and recommendations made by AAC for the Commission and the Member States to guide the development of sustainable aquaculture in Europe. He stressed that aquaculture as a low carbon source of high-quality protein plays a key role in meeting the objectives of EU strategies, including the European Green Deal, the Farm to Fork Strategy, and the Biodiversity Strategy.
