The major breakthrough: Environmental Clearance Certificate granted
We are thrilled to announce that after 2 years of meticulous location scouting, technical and environment research and with help of Namibian investment promoting institutions the Benguela Blue Aqua Farming receives a Environmental Clearance Certificate.
The Certificate opens up an opportunity to build the test facility and after successful verification of the key operational metrics and post-test environmental study the project will be granted a record-breaking 35 000 MT/year – scale unseen so far for a single marine aquaculture operation in Africa.
As the first-mover in Namibia's marine aquaculture BBAF reaps both benefits of preferential treatment as well as all the painstaking groundwork that will pave the wave for the whole industrial marine aquaculture in the country.
