The Nature Conservancy-PERSPECTIVES: Restorative Aquaculture for Nature and Communities
-
KEY TAKEAWAYS: There is a pressing need to provide food for people within planetary limits—including new approaches that actively restore ecosystem health; A body of research conducted by TNC scientists and partners demonstrates that aquaculture can help restore ocean health, as well as support economic development and food production in coastal communities worldwide—if the right practices are deployed in the right places; A set of six clear principles and implementation roadmaps—agreed upon by scientists from leading organizations across the globe—now provides guidance to help industries, governments and communities develop aquaculture in a way that actually benefits nature; Ecological and economic studies show these benefits can be significant, and spatial analysis has identified the regions around the world most suited for restorative aquaculture. Taken together, this body of information shows how and where to get the most benefit from restorative aquaculture.
