Seaweed farms along Tanzania’s coast are healing marine habitats, empowering women, and proving that restorative aquaculture can be both climate‑smart and profitable.
This report was written in collaboration with Ethical Seafood Research, which helped with the initial scoping with the help of Melinda Jackson from New York University (see their report on Animal Advocacy in Egypt).
Ethical Seafood Research is committed to supporting responsible aquaculture through evidence-based policy development, industry partnerships and rigorous scientific inquiry. Our involvement in the Zanzibar aquaculture strategy underscores our belief that ethical aquaculture is not just an environmental imperative, but a pathway to socioeconomic transformation in coastal communities.
2024 was a pivotal year for Ethical Seafood Research (ESR), marked by significant strides in our mission to improve the welfare of aquatic animals. From Egypt to Kenya, India to Zanzibar, we’re impacting the lives of millions of fish!
The end goal is to implement humane slaughter techniques, establish best practice protocols and deliver tailored training programs for the mobile harvest teams to help scale up these techniques.
