June 30, 2025 — The World Bank and World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) claim the aquaculture sector is primed for massive growth over the next 25 years, but the level of investment in the industry will determine just how much it will grow.
“To realize aquaculture’s full potential, we must shift toward practices that are not only productive, but also environmentally responsible, socially inclusive, and economically viable,” World Bank acting Global Director of the Department of Environment Genevieve Connors said in a release. “This is a call to action – to deepen collaboration, to invest boldly in new aquaculture technologies, and to foster stronger alignment between public and private sectors.”
