(Research) Ltd
JW Aquaculture (Research) Ltd is a Research and Development Company,
carrying out research into the commercial feasibility of culturing
the European Shore Crab (Carcinus maenas) on shore in holding tanks.
The major thrust of our Companies activities is to help protect the
Bio-diversity of our shoreline by providing Anglers with an alternative
‘greener’ method of obtaining bait for their fishing sessions.
Key to this aim, is the education of Anglers and the general public
in the need for preservation of our natural assets and offering a
best practice guide to exploring the seashore and bait collection,
which we will achieve by using promotional material and through our
new web site at - www.jwaquaculture.co.uk
JW Aquaculture (Research) Ltd is acutely aware that its activities
have an impact on the environment. We are committed to continual improvement
of environmental performance and establishing an Environmental
Management System (EMS) to fulfil the requirements of ISO
14001 as a minimum standard.
The Management of JW Aquaculture (Research) Ltd whilst primary responsibility
for ensuring that our daily operations are conducted in an environmentally
responsible manner, also recognise that our employees are integral
in achieving this outcome. We therefore take it upon ourselves to
inform and train our employees to take account of environmental issues
in their areas of work and to assist them with their specific environmental
responsibilities. We will ensure that our standards exceed any legislation
requirements and set our own high standards where none exists.

-
