Guide to regenerative ocean farming

Description

Rooted in regenerative principles, the guide emphasises small-scale, low-impact aquaculture practices that restore marine ecosystems while producing valuable crops such as seaweed and shellfish. It covers essential topics including site selection, farm setup, crop cultivation, and business models, with a strong focus on ecosystem services like nutrient absorption and water filtration. By promoting multitrophic farming systems, the guide positions regenerative aquaculture as a viable solution to environmental challenges such as eutrophication, while supporting local economies and food security.
