Problem
Traditional aquaculture methods often face challenges related to unstable production due to weather and disease, high labor costs, inefficient resource utilization, and environmental concerns such as mangrove deforestation and water pollution. Existing carbon sequestration methods like direct air capture are energy-intensive and costly.
Solution
ID Water provides an integrated aquaculture and mangrove forestry solution, called MAPS (Mangrove-Aquaculture Production System), that leverages AI, water quality sensors, robotics, and solar energy to enhance production stability and reduce operational costs. The system integrates indoor shrimp farming with AIoT-based monitoring and automation, minimizing susceptibility to external factors and diseases. Wastewater from shrimp farming is utilized to fertilize mangroves, increasing their carbon sequestration capacity by over 50% annually, while reducing reliance on traditional fertilizers and mitigating mangrove deforestation. The company's approach enables stable aquaculture production, reduces carbon emissions, and generates blue carbon credits for corporations to meet their ESG and SDG goals.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes aquaculture farmers seeking stable and sustainable production methods, corporations aiming to achieve ESG and SDG goals through carbon offsetting, and organizations focused on promoting biodiversity and combating climate change.
