The World Bank’s new report "Harnessing the Waters"

The World Bank’s new report "Harnessing the Waters" highlights aquaculture as a key solution to global food security, rising protein demand, and the need for low-emission food systems. With nearly 60% of the world’s seafood now coming from aquaculture, the sector is no longer niche — it’s essential.

With the right investments, aquaculture could generate up to 22 million new jobs by 2050 and drive sustainable growth in both emerging and advanced economies.

The opportunity? A $1.5 trillion investment potential, especially in countries where small-scale farmers can scale up with support from innovative finance and better farming practices.

The report calls for stronger public-private partnerships, development finance, and green financial instruments— like sustainability-linked loans and blue bonds — to unlock responsible aquaculture at scale.
