Aquatic ecosystem resilience refers to the capacity of aquatic environments to recover from disturbances like climate change, pollution, overfishing, and habitat degradation. Resilient ecosystems are able to maintain their biodiversity, ecological functions, and overall health, even in the face of significant stressors. In aquaculture, resilience is built through the adoption of sustainable practices such as habitat restoration, the use of diversified species, and reducing environmental impacts. Wild ecosystems, such as coral reefs, wetlands, and mangroves, also demonstrate resilience when properly protected, acting as natural barriers against climate effects and preserving biodiversity. Strengthening resilience in aquatic systems is essential for long-term ecosystem stability and ensuring the continued availability of resources for both human use and wildlife conservation.
