This webinar will introduce the new Reef Resilience Network Aquaculture toolkit (coming soon!) which provides resources for coral reef managers who already have aquaculture in their area or are planning for it. It focuses on finfish aquaculture and provides an introduction to aquaculture and its importance for food security and livelihoods; impacts, mitigation, and proper management; site selection; legal and regulatory frameworks to support sustainable aquaculture; and community-based aquaculture.

In this webinar, aquaculture experts will discuss the development of sustainable finfish aquaculture in coral reef areas. Presentations will be followed by a panel Q&A discussion. The webinar will be 1 hour 30 minutes long.

This webinar is being co-hosted by the Reef Resilience Network and The Nature Conservancy’s Global Aquaculture Program.
