Insufficient information to assess risk
There is evidence that many of the potential environmental risks of the operation are managed at some level, however risks are not fully mitigated, and there is still room for improvement.
At least one of the environmental risk criteria has been scored high risk, and this is having a significant impact on the sustainability of the operation.

Spiny lobster aquaculture takes place in net pens and cages in coastal waters. Floating cages consist of netting that is suspended from the surface and moored to the bottom, meanwhile pens are made up of netting that reaches the seafloor, enclosing the bottom of the pen. Both pens and cages are typically homemade with local materials, such as bamboo and rope, and square in design. Multiple square cages or pens with different sized lobster may be tied together, enabling ease of access for the farmer. The nursery stage also occurs in floating net cages or pens on the seafloor.
