Farming the Ocean - Seaweeds as a Quick Fix for the Climate?

M. Troell et al.

Summary: Seaweed farming has been promoted as a climate solution, but the carbon sink function is diminished due to consumption and alternative applications. Seaweeds can reduce greenhouse gas emissions through carbon offset and potentially through reducing enteric methane emissions from ruminants and bioenergy production. However, further research is needed to understand seaweeds' carbon cycling and contributions.

Habitat value of bivalve shellfish and seaweed aquaculture for fish and invertebrates: Pathways, synthesis and next steps

Seth J. Theuerkauf et al.

Summary: Aquaculture can negatively impact coastal ecosystems but can also provide valuable ecosystem goods and services, including increasing the abundance and species richness of wild, mobile macrofauna. The cultivation of bivalve shellfish and seaweed can positively influence the structure and function of faunal communities through various mechanisms such as providing structured habitat and food resources.

Engineering A Low-Cost Kelp Aquaculture System for Community-Scale Seaweed Farming at Nearshore Exposed Sites via User-Focused Design Process

Adam T. St-Gelais et al.

Summary: In this study, a low-cost and lightweight gear for kelp seaweed farming was developed and tested successfully over a 3-year period in southern Maine, USA. This gear is suitable for harsh conditions and can help fishermen maintain their income during the off-season, providing a flexible approach to aquaculture and fishing.

Thinking outside the box: embracing social complexity in aquaculture carrying capacity estimations

Lotta Clara Kluger et al.

Summary: The concept of aquaculture carrying capacity (CC) should be multidimensional, iterative, inclusive, and just, with a broad evaluative scope considering historical, cultural, and socio-economic concerns. To develop sustainable aquaculture, guidelines should be based on a multi-criteria, multi-stakeholder approach to frame a safe operating space.

Time to rethink trophic levels in aquaculture policy

Richard S. Cottrell et al.

Summary: Aquaculture policy should avoid simplistic sustainability indicators like trophic level and instead focus on empirically derived metrics based on specific farmed properties, management techniques, and advances in feed formulation. The divergence and convergence of farmed species at effective trophic levels pose challenges for understanding trophic level in aquaculture and its sustainability implications.

New system design for the cultivation of extractive species at exposed sites-Part 1: System design, deployment and first response to high-energy environments

Kevin G. Heasman et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the system analysis of new cultivation technology for exposed bivalve farming, including the technical feasibility of the new construction called Shellfish Tower, development stages, and deployment at sea. Experimental results show that the new design can survive in harsh sea conditions and provide optimal growth conditions for oysters and mussels.

All options, not silver bullets, needed to limit global warming to 1.5 °C: a scenario appraisal

Lila Warszawski et al.

Summary: Research shows that achieving the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius requires the use of multiple mitigation measures, and a careful assessment of the feasibility and implementation plans for these measures. A subset of 1.5 degrees Celsius scenarios has emissions ranging from 15-22 Gt CO2 in 2030, and the range for reaching net zero emissions is 2039-2061.

Enabling conditions for an equitable and sustainable blue economy

Andres M. Cisneros-Montemayor et al.

Summary: The future of the global ocean economy is envisioned as advancing towards a 'blue economy' which emphasizes socially equitable, environmentally sustainable, and economically viable ocean industries. Differences in outlook on the capacity for establishing a blue economy exist, with key factors including national stability, corruption, and infrastructure. Policymakers must engage researchers and stakeholders to ensure evidence-based, collaborative planning that prioritizes local benefits and aligns with social, environmental, and economic goals.

A 20-year retrospective review of global aquaculture

Rosamond L. Naylor et al.

Summary: The sustainability of aquaculture has been intensely debated since 2000, with major contributions coming from inland aquaculture in Asia. There have been significant advances in feed efficiency and fish nutrition, but reliance on marine ingredients remains a challenge. Molluscs and seaweed have potential for ecosystem services and global nutritional security, but their quantification, valuation, and market development are still underexploited.

Offshore longline mussel farms: a review of oceanographic and ecological interactions to inform future research needs, policy and management

Llucia Mascorda Cabre et al.

Summary: The review highlights the importance of sourcing alternative sustainable protein sources and the potential for offshore aquaculture to overcome limitations faced by inshore aquaculture. It emphasizes the need to improve understanding of offshore aquaculture-environment interactions to inform policy and management practices, as well as its role in the Blue Growth Agenda and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs).

New system design for the cultivation of extractive species at exposed sites-Part 2: Experimental modelling in waves and currents

Jannis Landmann et al.

Summary: Aquaculture is projected to be a major provider of marine proteins for a large part of the global population, with bivalves showing a high potential for cultivation in varied water conditions. This study tested a new bivalve cultivation system called Shellfish Tower, demonstrating its feasibility and functionality for growing mussels, oysters, scallops, and seaweed in marine environments. The research provided valuable insights for designing aquaculture systems in high-energy environments and integrating them into numerical models.

How EU policies could reduce nutrient pollution in European inland and coastal waters

B. Grizzetti et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the current pressures of nitrogen and phosphorus emissions to European fresh and coastal waters from 2005 to 2012, as well as the effects of three policy scenarios of nutrient reduction. Results showed that policy measures supporting technological improvements could decrease nutrient export to the seas, improving the ecological status of rivers and lakes but potentially worsening the nutrient imbalance in coastal ecosystems and eutrophication.

More than fish: Policy coherence and benefit sharing as necessary conditions for equitable aquaculture development

Cecile Brugere et al.

Summary: Aquaculture development is crucial for the Blue Economy and can improve the well-being of coastal people and the wider population. However, solely focusing on increasing production is unlikely to unlock its full potential. Benefit sharing and policy coherence are essential concepts for achieving equitable aquaculture development, especially in the context of mariculture development in the Western Indian Ocean region.

Articulating the effect of food systems innovation on the Sustainable Development Goals

Mario Herrero et al.

Summary: Food system innovations are crucial in achieving multiple Sustainable Development Goals, but they can lead to profound changes that impact different parts of the global food system simultaneously. It is important to embed innovations as part of systemic changes to avoid unintended negative consequences and address emerging trade-offs involving social aspects like inequality and social justice. Well-planned transition pathways, careful monitoring of key indicators, and transparent science targets at the local level are essential in managing trade-offs with undesirable outcomes.
