“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it”
– Robert Swan
Attainable Sustainable Aquaculture (“ASA”) works with coastal communities to partake in developing sustainable mariculture livelihoods through technical training, market access, investment management and support from collaborative partners and stakeholders.
ASA aims to develop a depth of expertise with a network of mariculture specialist who together can identify potential mariculture commodities and livelihoods appropriate for selected coastal communities. ASA will then undertake test plots and farming trials, market assessments and pilot farms to develop robust mariculture business cases for ASA investment portfolios that will open up mariculture support for creating sustainable community-led mariculture businesses.
By providing a lucrative, alternative livelihood that is sustainable and
climate-resilient for coastal communities, ASA will continue to work with communities and farmers to reduce the fishing pressure on wild-catch fisheries and aid sustainable resource management strategies.
