Mexico: Aquaculture, The Fastest Growing Industry

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20
PROGRAM #10630 12:00 PM PT

Mexico Edition. 

Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector in the globe. Farmed seafood will help feed the world’s growing population. As the climate changes, the stakes are high: some see aquaculture as a way to build economic resilience in coastal communities, while environmentalists worry that unsustainable practices may have a negative environmental impact and might exacerbate the impacts of a warmer atmosphere. What are the pros and cons, the hopes and concerns about aquaculture?

Guests: Victor Rodriguez, Reporter, Ensenada, Baja California, MX; Luis-Andrés González-Agraz, Oceanologist, President, Latin American and Caribbean Chapter, World Aquaculture Society-WAS, Ensenada, Baja California, MX; Christian Daniel Morales Portillo, Marine Ecologist and Oceanologist, Ensenada, Baja California, MX.
