Aquaculture
Securing food for future generations
Aquaculture—or the farming of aquatic organisms—is widely heralded as a sustainable solution to the pending shortage in seafood protein, needed to sustain our growing population. We believe in the power of aquaculture, and we have the expertise needed to assist clients with their sustainable aquaculture objectives.
Successful aquaculture businesses have three things in common: they fit seamlessly into the existing social fabric, they contribute to the local economy, and they operate in compliance with local environmental values and objectives. We can help you with that.
Our Marine Science team can support you at every stage of your aquaculture project, from the initial site selection and permitting processes to the estimation of carrying capacity and ongoing environmental management. With technical specialists in our Aquaculture group as well as our specialists in water, engineering, and environment, we can provide the multidisciplinary expertise necessary for sustainable solutions.
We’re excited to be working in the aquaculture sphere and welcome the opportunity to work with you to achieve your aquaculture objectives.
Supporting the development of a sustainable industry
If it’s well managed, aquaculture can provide the means to augment our world’s food supply without compromising the local marine environment. Our team supports the development of a sustainable industry by providing aquaculture site assessment and selection, waste management improvements, environmental management and impact assessments, and integrated modelling.

Farming marine animals and plants with offshore aquaculture can be challenging. Why? Every location is unique. To be sustainable, aquaculture farms need to be precisely located and well managed without harming nearby environments—in particular sensitive seagrass and coral habitats. With our team’s collective experience across water, engineering, and environment, we help you identify best practices for fish farm development, practices that are sustainable and economically viable without compromising the local marine environment.
