GLOBAL URGENCY
Aquaculture accounts for half of the world's seafood. Aquaculture can directly contribute to solving food insecurity for a rapidly growing population and is projected to more than double in size between 2021 and 2030.
Yet, unless managed responsibly, the aquaculture industry is prone to a number of critical environmental issues such as habitat & biodiversity loss, water pollution and disease outbreak, as well as, aquaculture feed increasing the pressures on deforestation and fisheries.


Most food production causes environmental impact, and aquaculture may disrupt critical mangroves as well as lead to deforestation through feed. Waste output from farms can also affect water quality and surrounding wildlife diversity.
