About me
My organisation
Shells & Valves is passionate about harnessing the power of the oceans and waterways to provide fresh, nutritious seafood while respecting the delicate balance of our aquatic ecosystems. Leading the way in environmentally conscious and economically viable aquaculture practices, our company is fully engaged in sustainable aquaculture.
Our mission is to innovate in aquaculture practices, ensuring that we can meet today’s demand for seafood without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. It is important that the aquaculture developments are verified against the planetary boundaries in order to create a net-positive effect. Increasing biodiversity is key to close the natural nutrient cycles and we look at alternative aquaculture systems that can contribute to closing those cycles, so that less external input (nutrients, energy, chemicals and materials) is needed and less waste and pollution is produced. We believe that this approach will lead to the restoration of ecosystems and their functionality.
