International Principles for Responsible Shrimp Farming

2006

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific

Creation date: 2006

Shrimp farming is one of the fastest growing aquaculture sectors in many parts of the world and also one of the most controversial. Rapid expansion of this sector generated income for many countries, but has been accompanied by rising concerns over environmental and social impacts. This document provides the basis upon which stakeholders can collaborate for a more sustainable development of shrimp farming. The principles have been developed by the Consortium on Shrimp Farming and the Environment, which consists of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA), the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-based Activities of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP/GPA), the World Bank (WB) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
