SIPAM - MALTA |
The National Aquaculture Centre (NAC) was set up at Fort San Lucjan in 1988. The fort was originally built by order of Grandmaster Alof de Wignacourt between 1610 and 1611. Over the years it has been used by the Royal Air Force and by the University of Malta, first under the auspices of the Architecture Department and later as a Marine Biology station. Eventually it was allocated to the Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries to accommodate the newly set up Aquaculture Centre.
The National Aquaculture Centre is situated in Marsaxlokk (the largest fishing port on the island) 10 minutes away from the Malta International Airport |
