In 2025, the Global Shrimp Forum Foundation announced that surplus funds from the event would be used to commission Carbon Footprint of Farmed Shrimp: An Industry Guide—a study aimed at equipping the sector with the tools and confidence needed to take meaningful climate action.
Developed by sustainability experts Roxanne Nanninga and Anton Immink, the guide draws on the latest scientific research to clarify the sources of greenhouse gas emissions in shrimp farming and to highlight practical steps for reduction.
The report debunks myths around mangrove deforestation, addresses emerging areas of research such as methane emissions from shrimp ponds, and points readers towards resources for financing climate action. It also identifies the business opportunities that can come from lower-carbon production, from cost savings to enhanced supply chain resilience.
By laying out clear facts and calling for cross-sector collaboration, the guide provides a roadmap for turning climate ambition into action across the shrimp industry.
