The main objective of this paper is the focus on the potential for green growth and outline which policies may enhance the greening of fisheries and aquaculture through the supply chain. The starting point is a discussion of the consequences of not changing the current policies for industries with a major potential for environmental impact. Based on this, the paper discusses the potential for green growth policies. It is important to recognise that while some policies can promote win-win potentials, some policies and strategies may be conflicting.

The paper includes data on Norwegian aquaculture production.
