Live Fish House: Integrating Local Knowledge and Nature-Based Solutions
The “Live Fish House” model demonstrates that integrating local knowledge with Nature-based Solutions can generate synergistic outcomes for aquatic ecosystem restoration, livelihood enhancement, and sustainable fish production. By functioning as a habitat-based, culture-based fishery system, the model enhances natural recruitment, increases carrying capacity, and supports fish stock recovery without reliance on intensive aquaculture inputs.

Adapting Aquaculture to an Aging Workforce: Labor-Reducing Nature-based Solutions
NbS can play a crucial role in promoting elderly inclusion in aquaculture by reducing labor intensity and aligning production systems. Rather than viewing population aging as a barrier to sustainability, labor-reducing NbS offer a pathway to enable older farmers to remain productively engaged in aquaculture with dignity, autonomy, and reduced physical strain.
