Problem: The Aquatic Resource Sustainability Challenge
The global seafood industry faces a critical challenge in meeting the rising demand for fish protein while ensuring environmental sustainability and economic viability.
The world’s oceans are under severe strain due to overfishing, endangering marine ecosystems and the billions of people reliant on seafood as a primary protein source.
Traditional fishing practices have inflicted significant harm on oceanic environments, leading to a pressing need for sustainable seafood production methods.
Economic Unsustainability
The economics of traditional fishing is increasingly unsustainable, with growing populations driving demand for seafood beyond what can be supplied without compromising the health of marine life and habitats.
