- Acquatic fish farming startups such as Forever Oceans have developed specialized enclosures, sensors and robotics that will allow fish farms to operate further offshore.
- The growing global population has sparked a 527% increase in fish farming since 1990.
- Up to 90% of fish farms are overfished (available fish supply rapidly depleting).
- “Fish farmers like Forever Oceans raise hatchlings in big tanks on land, then transport them to open-water farms to mature”.
- While promising, Forever Oceans’ technology could damage ecological systems (waste dumpage, pesticide usage).
