(ONCl.lSION 



It IS iH>\\ clearly time lo establish a suitable framework 

 o\' regulatory policy to accommodate new opportunities 

 in mariculture and ocean ranching. To do this, the gov- 

 ernments must disentangle their administrative responsi- 

 bilities and provide suitable licensing arrangements. This 



iiceil IS acknowledged by all parties, including jirivale 

 operators, and so the process ot'rest)lving the tunclions ol 

 each government should be .icceieialed. 



Ihc Department has a special responsibility to ensure 

 liiat appropriate licensing arrangements are available, to 

 provide related research and technical assistance and to 

 coortlinale its activities with other federal and provincial 

 agencies. I emphasize this because, in promoting maricul- 

 ture and ocean ranching, the main goal should be eco- 

 nomic and social development. Other federal and provin- 

 cial agencies are better equipped to lake the leading role 

 in pursuing these goals. For some time at least, the devel- 

 opment of mariculture policy will require close liaison 

 among the many governmental agencies involved. Close 

 consultation should be maintained as well with the mari- 

 culture advisory committee recommended in Chapter 17.
