EXAMINING THE IMPACT OF INNOVATIVE SEAFOOD WASTE RECYCLING: INTEGRATING AQUA-AGROSUSTAINOPRENEURSHIP FOR COSTAL SUSTAINABLE PRACTICE

Abstract

The global seafood industry generates a significant amount of waste, which contributes to inefficiencies in resource utilization and environmental damage. In response, innovative concepts for recycling seafood waste have emerged, particularly at the intersection of aquaculture, sustainability, and entrepreneurship, a concept which is referred to as aquaagrosustainopreneurship. The objective of this research is to study the ways in which incorporating aquaagrisustainopreneurship into the recycling of seafood waste could potentially have synergy with agricultural practices. Aqua-agrosustainopreneurs are capable of transforming waste from seafood production into valuable inputs like as organic fertilizers and bioresources through the application of sustainable entrepreneurship in aquaculture. This results in an increase in agricultural production. This study analyzes the ways in which these novel recycling processes contribute to the practices of circular economies, the preservation of the environment, and the development of new business models, all of which contribute to increasing the rate of sustainable economic growth. According to the findings, there is a pressing requirement for increased policy assistance and industry collaboration in order to scale up these innovative concepts and fulfill their full potential in terms of improving agricultural sustainability and aquaculture activities.
