Establishing and scaling organic aquaculture operations is urgent because it addresses environmental challenges, provides guidance for sustainable practices, and mitigates risks associated with industrialized aquaculture expansion. By investing in research and innovation and transitioning steadily towards sustainable models, stakeholders can drive positive change for aquatic ecosystems, biodiversity, and industry sustainability, benefiting both the environment and future generations.
The Time for Action is Now
Organic aquaculture isn't just about producing "cleaner" seafood. It's about fundamentally rethinking our relationship with aquatic ecosystems. The urgency is clear – we must establish and scale up organic aquaculture to ensure a thriving future for our planet and its inhabitants.
