Course description

Coastal Aquaculture refers to the farming of aquatic organisms in coastal areas, typically in brackish or marine environments such as estuaries, bays, and lagoons. It involves the cultivation of species like fish (e.g., tilapia, sea bass), shellfish (e.g., oysters, mussels), and seaweed in controlled conditions. Coastal aquaculture plays a key role in providing sustainable seafood, boosting local economies, and reducing the pressure on wild fish stocks. However, it requires proper management to prevent environmental degradation, disease outbreaks, and overuse of coastal resources.
