Approval for Portuguese semi-sub fish farm

Portugal is about to ramp up its aquaculture production business in a big way following the approval of a new fish farm on the Algarve.
Mariculture Systems Portugal (MSP) has been given the go ahead for its sea bass and sea bream project near Vila Real de Santo António which it describes as a major milestone.

The designed installation consists of a semi-submersible platform, situated eight miles off the coast and permanently anchored to the seabed.

This static structure, which does not have engines, measures 55 by 55 metres.
