In a recent correspondence published in Science, Solving-FCB Co-PIs Dr. William Cheung, Dr. Rashid Sumaila, and Sea Around Us PI Dr. Daniel Pauly argue that the global marine fisheries sector could serve as a vital, yet overlooked, climate mitigation “wedge”.

Aquaculture holds immense promise for creating a sustainable and equitable food system, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on food security, climate change, and biodiversity (FCB). Biological diversity in aquaculture species can significantly contribute to these goals. However, current research has often overlooked the specific biological traits of farmed aquatic species that impact Food Security, Climate Change, and Biodiversity (FCB).
