Fisheries & Aquaculture
Fisheries and aquaculture involve both wild fishing and the farming of aquatic organisms for commercial purposes. Sustainable practices minimise environmental impacts, maintain biodiversity, and balance ecosystem health, reducing risks associated with overfishing, habitat destruction, and pollution. Responsible management of both wild fisheries and aquaculture is essential for long-term food security, economic stability, and the preservation of marine ecosystems. Investors can assess risks related to overfishing, habitat degradation, supply chain transparency and regulatory compliance.
