We protect thousands of hectares of mangrove forest. Through sustainable shrimp aquaculture, we enable mangroves to reclaim their former habitat. In this way, we protect the climate and nature and create a sustainable source of income for local people.<\/p>\n

Mangrove forests also protect coastal regions from erosion, tropical storms and storm surges. The problem: since 1980, around 25 percent of the mangrove forests have been cleared, partly to make room for shrimp aquaculture. <\/p>\n

In our SAIME (Sustainable Aquaculture in Mangrove Ecosystems) project, we are therefore working on the development of pilot aquaculture farms that use sustainable IMA systems (integrated mangrove aquaculture). Mangroves are planted in the dams, water channels and directly in the pond. In this way, shrimp can exist in harmony with mangroves and the ecosystem is preserved.
