Planning aquaculture development will stimulate and guide the evolution&nbsp;of the sector by providing incentives and safeguards, attracting investment and boosting&nbsp;development. It will help to ensure the long-term economic, environmental&nbsp;and social sustainability of the sector, and its ultimate contribution to economic growth&nbsp;and poverty alleviation. In 2010, with FAO colleagues and a team of consultants, we published a technical document providing practical guidance to aquaculture policy-makers and implementers&nbsp;on policy formulation and processes. This FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper&nbsp;starts by reviewing governance concepts and&nbsp;international policy agendas relevant to aquaculture development and proceeds by defining&nbsp;&ldquo;policy&rdquo;, &ldquo;strategy&rdquo; and &ldquo;plan&rdquo; while explaining common planning terminology.&nbsp;The paper&nbsp;proposes practical steps for improving policy formulation processes.&nbsp;These include: recognising a timely opportunity for change; ensuring coordination&nbsp;and communication among stakeholders; adopting a participatory approach; learning&nbsp;lessons from elsewhere; and accepting that conflicts may arise and lead to hard choices.&nbsp;It highlights means for implementing aquaculture policies, notes the benefits of an&nbsp;ecosystem approach and proposes a range of instruments which, if implemented at&nbsp;various levels, will help progress towards the development goals for the sector. However,&nbsp;the successful implementation of aquaculture policies depends on overcoming challenges&nbsp;related to weak human capacity, institutions and monitoring systems and to inadequate&nbsp;financial resources. Therefore, the paper also suggests the means to do so. Central to successful planning in the aquaculture sector are coherence in the&nbsp;planning process and an emphasis on interdisciplinarity beyond sectoral remit through&nbsp;institutional collaboration, human capacity development and participation. It is also&nbsp;necessary to embed the chosen approaches and instruments in the principles of good&nbsp;governance. Together, these key elements will ensure the soundness and effectiveness of&nbsp;aquaculture development policies and the positive contribution of the sector.
