Climate Resilience and Aquaculture

This NOAA fact sheet explains how aquaculture can support climate‑resilient food production as global demand for seafood increases. It describes how ocean farming uses fewer land, water, and energy resources than traditional agriculture, while offering opportunities for adaptation, such as selective breeding and controlled growing conditions. The fact sheet also highlights benefits like reducing greenhouse gas emissions, supporting coastal communities, and mitigating impacts such as ocean acidification through species like seaweed.
