Industrial shrimp farming destroys mangrove forests. As a result, coastal communities lose their livelihoods and cultures as well as natural flood control and buffer against coastal storms. Toxic chemicals, antibiotics and diseased shrimp released by industrial shrimp farms pose a risk to surrounding mangroves and artisanal fishing.
