| Abstract | ||||
This research aimed to examine the contribution of integrated management to aquaculture development, particularly with the growing and widespread deterioration of water quality, both freshwater and marine, as a result of unsustainable human activities and the increasing demand for water from growing populations. Policies, rules, standards, and procedures that outline how to monitor and measure the results of integrated management are essential to determining the success of environmental improvement processes and how existing pollutants interact with expected emissions from aquaculture. To achieve the objectives of this research, a descriptive and analytical approach was used for the practical framework. One of the most important findings of the researchers is that sustainable development goals cannot be achieved without working and implementing integrated environmental management systems. There is a statistically significant relationship between the dimensions of integrated management systems (quality management, environmental management, occupational health and safety management) and aquaculture development at a significant level of 0.05. The farm focuses on achieving high levels of economic development, representing 72% of the study sample. One of the most important recommendations is the need to truly adopt integrated requirements for quality, environmental, health and occupational safety management systems in fish farms because they lead the farm in one direction, i.e. to reach a high-quality product, expand the designated fishing area and perhaps towards the deep waters of the farm. Therefore, it is necessary to develop security procedures for fishermen and work to clearly define fishing areas and increase fishing times. | ||||
