Aquaculture offers environmental benefits by providing a sustainable alternative to overfishing, protecting wild fish populations and conserving marine biodiversity. Responsible aquaculture practices help reduce pressures on endangered species and contribute to habitat preservation. Many farms utilize efficient resource management, including water recycling systems and waste treatment processes, which minimize ecosystem impact. Sustainable aquaculture also promotes carbon sequestration, as some farmed species like shellfish and seaweed absorb carbon dioxide. By creating eco-friendly farming systems, aquaculture supports the conservation of marine ecosystems, ensuring a balanced approach to food production that benefits both people and the planet.
