Aquatic habitat restoration aims to rehabilitate degraded ecosystems, including rivers, lakes, wetlands, and coastal areas, to improve biodiversity and ecological function. Restoration efforts focus on reversing the damage caused by pollution, overfishing, and climate change. By rebuilding critical habitats such as coral reefs, seagrass beds, and mangroves, we help restore ecological balance and promote the resilience of aquatic life. In aquaculture, habitat restoration ensures the availability of healthy environments for breeding, feeding, and migration. These efforts benefit not only wild fish populations but also aquaculture operations by enhancing local ecosystems and supporting the sustainability of aquatic food sources.
