Sustainable Aquaculture Innovation Cluster (SAIC): business and regulatory impact assessment 2026
A business and regulatory impact assessment (BRIA) assessing the creation of an independent SAIC to drive innovation and support a sustainable, productive Scottish aquaculture sector.
Declaration
I have read the Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment and I am satisfied that, given the available evidence, it represents a reasonable view of the likely costs, benefits and impact of the leading options. I am satisfied that business impact has been assessed with the support of businesses in Scotland.
I am also satisfied that officials have considered the impact on consumers as required by the Consumer Scotland Act 2020 in completion of the Consumer Duty section of this BRIA.
