Description
Since the 1980s, shrimp farming has emerged in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and South America. The construction of shrimp ponds has resulted in significant loss of coastal wetlands such as mangroves, seagrass beds and coastal marshes, resulting in ecosystem degradation, reduced biodiversity and many social problems. Since when, the construction of shrimp ponds has caused the disappearance of 1.4 million hectares of mangroves worldwide. Driven by economic interests, high-density farming leads to frequent illnesses, and shrimp ponds are often abandoned after a few years of use. Rehabilitating abandoned shrimp ponds, while recovering the structure and function of ecosystems, absorbing carbon dioxide, improving the livelihoods of local residents and practitioners, is related to the sustainable development of coastal areas. More than 50% area of a shrimp pond is suggested to be restored to mangroves or coastal marshes, some waters will be reserved. Crabs, shellfish, worms, etc. will be cultured under the forest, fish and shrimp will be cultured in the waters, making the shrimp ponds gradually restored to semi-natural ecosystems. The system will absorb greenhouse gases, and continuously produces ecological products, discharges eggs and larvae to the sea simultaneously. The system can be also used as an ecotourism destination.
