Development of eco-friendly aquaculture infrastructure using recycled materials
Main Article Content
Abstract
The development of sustainable infrastructure which has minimal ecological impact while conserving marine life has become a necessity because of the swift proliferation of aquaculture globally. The current study focuses on the environmentally responsible design of aquaculture facilities by utilizing reclaimed materials and plastics, abandoned fishing equipment, and industrial waste. Special attention has been given to material endurance, compatibility with marine environments, and potential deployment scale for coastal and offshore uses. Structural and impact environmental assessments were conducted using a series of simulations and field tests in the laboratory which enhanced habitat integration, improved biofouling resistance, and reduced carbon emissions relative to other materials. The framework proposed in this paper presents a new paradigm in designing aquaculture systems, supporting international maritime sustainability objectives while advancing a circular economy through aquaculture innovation, demonstrating sustainable development in the blue economy.
