Aquaculture is the practice of growing aquatic organisms like fish, coral, and shellfish in controlled environments like tanks, ponds, or ocean enclosures. This method of farming seafood has become increasingly important in recent years, as wild fish populations have declined due to overfishing and other environmental factors.
When it comes to aquariums, using sustainably raised coral, fish, and rocks is crucial for the health of both the aquarium and the environment. Coral reefs, for example, are essential habitats for countless marine species and protect coastlines from storms and erosion. Unfortunately, many of these reefs are destroyed due to destructive fishing practices, climate change, and pollution. By using sustainably raised coral, aquarium owners can help reduce the demand for wild-caught coral and promote the growth of healthy, sustainable coral reefs.
The same goes for fish and rocks. Aquarium owners can help protect wild fish populations from overfishing by purchasing sustainably raised fish. And by using sustainably raised rocks, they can help prevent destructive quarrying practices that damage natural habitats and contribute to pollution.
