Shrimp and crab are raised in ponds without feed, fertilizers and chemicals. The mangroves provide food and shelter for species to thrive – a unique nature-based seafood harvesting system!
Blueyou’s Selva Shrimp® program in Vietnam and Indonesia promotes regenerative, nature-based farming of shellfish in combination with restoration of mangroves: Shrimp, crab, mollusks, and filter feeding fish are raised by small-scale farmers in intertidal zones where they thrive as part of the natural food web. This unique food system does not only supply local people and global markets with healthy, high-quality seafood, but captures carbon, raises biodiversity and increases the resilience of coastal communities!
Shrimp and crab are raised in ponds without feed, fertilizers and chemicals. The mangroves provide food and shelter for species to thrive – a unique nature-based seafood harvesting system!
Seafood harvested in restorative mangrove forest farms has a very low carbon footprint, as no external feed and fertilizers are applied, and restored mangroves continuously capture and sequester carbon in the soil.
Mangroves provide food and shelter for many species to thrive. Farmers continuously harvest various shrimp, crab, molluscs and fish – and benefit from a resilient and nature-based food system.
As mangroves are part of the aquatic food web, farmers are incentivized to restore and conserve mangroves as functional part of the farming system. Additionally, Selva Shrimp’s auditing scheme involves local authorities for co-management of integrated mangrove aquaculture zones.
Harvested organic seafood creates continuous, reliable, low-risk and high value revenues for farming communities, sustaining livelihoods of thousands of families.
Integrated mangrove aquaculture provides a unique opportunity for degraded intertidal zones to be restored – by creating blue carbon positive seafood value chains which drive biodiversity and economic growth at large scale.
The entire Selva Shrimp supply chain including shrimp hatcheries, farms, collecting stations and frozen product manufacturing is subject to traceability and chain of custody.
A detailed set of standards define the requirements for farmers in each geography where Selva Shrimp are raised and harvested, including 3rd party certification by ISEAL approved schemes such as Organic and ASC.
Due to its low environmental impact and restorative, biodiversity-inclusive approach, Selva Shrimp from Vietnam qualifies for Blueyou’s PLANET POSITIVE product portfolio.
