Can the world farm more seafood with less impact? A new study says the answer is yes. But the best-case scenario sits on a knife-edge of three factors: Location, location, location.

Crafting global legislative guard rails for mariculture now could ensure that the world's growing demand for more seafood doesn't end up killing marine life. How does this get started? Which environmental groups get ahead of this? #mariculture #feedtheworld #fishfarming

Low greenhouse gas emissions of land-based mariculture still warrant mitigation - Nature Food Ever-expanding mariculture has led to substantial losses of coastal wetlands (‘blue carbon’ ecosystems). The resulting loss of carbon sequestration by these ecosystems accounts for two-thirds of the t...

#Aquaculture relies on feed, #fertilizer & energy inputs, and coastal #mariculture (farming of marine organisms) often involves ecosystem conversion. These #ecosystems (marshes, mangroves, wetlands) sequester blue #carbon; their conversion turns them into major GHG sources: doi.org/10.1038/s430...

We're exploring how to raise them in abandoned quarries: calm, food-filled places that already support wild crab populations.
