Aquatic Ecosystem Services
Aquatic ecosystems provide essential services such as water purification, carbon sequestration, habitat for biodiversity, and nutrient cycling, all of which are critical for maintaining environmental health. These services directly benefit both wild fisheries and aquaculture. Healthy aquatic ecosystems help filter pollutants, support fish populations, and maintain water quality, contributing to sustainable food production. In aquaculture, the integration of ecosystem services, such as using wetlands for waste filtration or incorporating aquatic plants in systems, can reduce environmental impact. By prioritizing the conservation of these ecosystems, we can enhance food security, mitigate climate change, and support resilient aquaculture systems that benefit both people and nature.
