About Us
What we are doing
Blue Water Farm (BWF) is focused on regenerative ocean farming and establishing vertically integrated land-based indoor farms to produce warm water shrimp. Through the application of innovative technology and processes, supported by an ecosystem of partners, we aim to deliver on the growing consumer demand for sustainable, traceable, and environmentally friendly produced protein while driving economic and social benefits to local communities
Our Challenge
Population Growth: According to the United Nations, world population is projected to reach 8.5 billion in 2030, and to increase further to 9.7 billion in 2050
Demand for Healthy Food Consumers are demanding healthier food & protein that is sustainably produced and provides traceability while reducing (or removing) environmental impacts
Destruction of Oceans: The destruction of our oceans through over-fishing, the impact on biodiversiry, warming of the seas that affects carbon sequestration and continued pollution mean that we need to come up with a new approach to 71% of the earth's surface
Food security: With global climate change, increasing population and supply chain risks authorities are now looking at food security.
Economic: New technology and innovation is enabling the production of land-based seafood that drives economic and social benefits through the creation of employment in traditional deprived areas.
Investing to Protect
Investing to Protect: We need to protect our our Oceans; Mangrove swamps are 5x more cost effective versus man made coastal erosion; One mature whale sequesters more carbon than 30,000 tress; Our Oceans generate 50% of our oxygen, absorb 25% of our carbon emissions and 93% of climate heat; The American Ocean Conservation Charity, Oceana, estimates that 20% of all fish worldwide are mislabelled.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's): Land based warm water shrimp farming (supported by a closed loop system, renewable energy and plant based food) delivers on climate impact with an average of 8.5-9.5 scaore across 8 UN SDG’s from life below water, GHG emission, clean water, zero hunger to climate cation across SDG’s 2,3,6,8, 9,12,13,14.
