TED-Ed: Could underwater farms help fight climate change? - Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Megan Davis

Seafood is a crucial protein source for billions, but overfishing and unsustainable aquaculture practices pose significant challenges. While traditional methods like net pens and coastal ponds cause environmental harm, innovative solutions such as land-based systems and restorative ocean farming offer hope. By focusing on low-impact species like shellfish and seaweed, we can improve water quality, combat climate change, and support sustainable diets. These methods promise a sustainable future for aquaculture, benefiting both the environment and coastal communities.
