Aquacultures Biodiversity Conservation in Progress

Abstract

Aquacultures Biodiversity conservation is an essential component of human development and closely linked to ending extreme poverty, increasing food security, improving public health, managing the impacts of climate change, and building resilience to the bio-economy and circular economy for the recurrent crises. By promoting development that benefits both nature and people, marine (aqua) biodiversity conservation activities can strengthen development impact and the capacity of countries to manage their natural resources, improving their self-reliance. Addressing the impacts of climate change on marine and agrobiodiversity and feedback on climate requires integrative knowledge and new ways of thinking. Necessary research-based and science-based approaches should not only identify challenges but also lead to the actions and solutions that are needed to better preserve aquacultures biodiversity, regulate climate and reinforce the resilience of socio-ecological systems as nature-based researches too. Such multiply researches could greatly contribute to the implementation of the postgraduate, fellowship and scientific approaches in the aquacultures biodiversity conservation. During our research-based methodology we found many co-existence factors between climate, acidification of the rivers, seas by microplastic, ecological processes and biological diversity offers important opportunities. Indeed, many studies have shown that actions nurturing diverse living organisms and their interactions and making ecosystem processes more resilient may be among the lowest cost, least-regret and most rapidly-deployable ways of limiting global temperature rise to below. Such approaches should consider the role that climate change has on biodiversity and vice versa, the potential of nature-based solutions for climate change mitigation.
