Problem
The UAE and other import-dependent markets face challenges in securing a consistent supply of high-quality seafood due to reliance on air-freighted imports, which have a significant carbon footprint. Traditional salmon farming methods also raise concerns about environmental sustainability, including water usage, wastewater discharge, and potential escapes of farmed fish.

This approach minimizes water usage, eliminates wastewater discharge, and reduces carbon emissions associated with traditional seafood imports. By controlling the indoor environment, Ocean Harvest ensures industry-leading resource efficiency and improved animal welfare. The company focuses on delivering fresher, cleaner, and more sustainable salmon compared to foreign imports, with same-day or next-day harvest and delivery.
