Mexico: Aquaculture, The Fastest Growing Industry.

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?
