This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to coordinate sustainable operational practices and implement strategies that minimise waste, conserve energy resources and manage water use.

The unit applies to individuals who have responsibility for overseeing environmental requirements in their area of operation or for their work group or team in an aquaculture facility.

All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, according to state/territory health and safety, biosecurity and environmental regulations, legislation and standards that apply to the workplace.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
