The Namibian Mariculture Association was established in order to preserve and promote the interests of the members of the mariculture industry in Namibia; not only to provide opportunities for collaboration and discussion amongst its members, but to liaise with Government bodies, public and private establishments and individuals on matters of general and specific interest to its members, and to distribute relevant information among them. The Association also has the authority to delegate industry representatives to institutional bodies and events where such representation is in the best interest of its members, and aims to cooperate with other Associations having similar objects.
