In 2024, Kush Seafarms Ltd met its biodiversity milestone by completing three targeted initiatives. Among the completed initiatives, the company focused on enhancing biodiversity within and around its mussel farming operations. These actions were designed to support local marine life, improve habitat conditions, and align with national biodiversity goals. The company’s work demonstrates how aquaculture can co-exist with and contribute to ecological resilience.

In addition to meeting its milestone, Kush Seafarms Ltd advanced a fourth initiative exploring the potential for polyculture on its mussel farm. Polyculture, the practice of cultivating multiple species in the same environment, offers promising biodiversity and productivity benefits. The company engaged in early-stage research to assess feasibility and environmental impact.

To support this exploration, Kush Seafarms Ltd met with a French research team to exchange knowledge and discuss practical applications. These discussions mark an important step toward integrating innovative, science-based approaches into the company’s operations and reflect its openness to international collaboration.
