More than 90% of South Australians live within 50 kilometres of the coast, and many rely on the coast and adjacent marine waters for their livelihood. Fishing (both commercial and recreational) and aquaculture (tuna, oysters, mussels, abalone, freshwater and marine finfish, and others) have become increasingly economically important to South Australia.
This section contains information and data relating to aquaculture, fisheries and desalination.
