Available at flickr.com Acknowledgments In 2007, the World Bank published Changing the Face of the Waters, a landmark report that outlined theopportunities and challenges of sustainable aquaculture. It helped shape global thinking on aquaculture’spotential to contribute to economic growth, food security, and environmental protection. Eighteen years on, aquaculture has expanded rapidly, becoming a vital part of global food systemsas wild fisheries face increasing pressure and demand for animal protein rises. Yet access to financeremains a key constraint—particularly in developing countries where capital is limited and risks are high. Harnessing the Waters: A Trillion Dollar Investment Opportunity in Sustainable Aquaculture revisits theaquaculture story with a new focus on finance. Through case studies of seven key industries, it examineshow financial systems have supported or hindered sector development. The report distills lessons to guidesmarter investment and promote inclusive, sustainable growth in aquaculture.
