Aquatic pollution mitigation focuses on reducing the harmful impacts of pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. In aquaculture and fisheries, pollutants such as chemicals, plastics, excess nutrients, and wastewater can degrade water quality and harm aquatic species. Effective mitigation strategies involve controlling runoff from agricultural lands, treating wastewater before it enters aquatic habitats, and using sustainable farming practices that reduce chemical use. Implementing proper waste management systems and encouraging the use of biodegradable materials are essential steps in minimizing pollution. Furthermore, the restoration of wetlands, riparian zones, and mangroves can naturally filter pollutants and improve water quality. By addressing pollution, we not only safeguard aquatic life but also ensure the long-term viability of fish farms and the health of wild fisheries.
