50 Investible Opportunities for a New Nature Economy Supplementary Appendix 2026

32 Sustainable seafood production involves environmentally responsible aquaculture and improved wild fisheries management using low - impact, traceable and restorative practices (e.g. integrated multitrophic (IMTA), recirculating (RAS) aquaculture – Ecosystem recovery: Responsible stock management and traceable supply helps restore marine life and reduces habitat degradation. Some practices improve marine biodiversity and mangroves – Efficient resource use : Low impact aquaculture can cut freshwater use by up to 95 %, reduce nutrient discharge and reliance on feed inputs.

Accordingly, they can leverage a wide range of financing options. Commercial and sustainability - linked loans are key sources for established operators, while blue and green project loans or bonds, sometimes backed by development finance can support certification efforts and infrastructure. Insurance products further enhance sector resilience by managing risks related to stock fluctuations, environmental changes, and climate impacts .– Growing market: Demand from retailers and consumers for certified and traceable seafood continues to expand globally. – Initial investment required : Increased c apital expenditure can be offset by lower operating costs (e.g. water, process automation, feed).
