This talk seeks to address a key challenge in aquaculture development policies, which is the paradox of economic efficiency, social considerations, and environmental conservation. By examining data obtained from a household survey in Vietnam, Dr. Chu's study finds that mangrove aquaculture, if properly designed, can be a triple-win approach. The data showed that mangrove aquaculture offers the highest rate of return compared to other types of aquaculture farming, while requiring only a modest up-front investment, which is well-suited for the poor people.
