Organization Description:

The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a global environmental non-profit with operations in more than 70 countries, including a significant program in India. TNC’s work in India focuses on encouraging restorative aquaculture that benefits both food systems and nature, sustainable agriculture and water management, forest and grassland conservation, and climate resilience. Its Asia-Pacific aquaculture program supports science-based approaches to sustainable fish, shrimp, and shellfish farming, and partners with governments, communities, and industry to scale solutions.

Role in Indian Shrimp Aquaculture: TNC has included shrimp aquaculture in its Asia-Pacific sustainable aquaculture strategy, including work on "north star" shrimp supply chains that balance production with habitat protection, and research on restorative and integrated systems. In India, TNC can bring science, mangrove-restoration expertise, and landscape planning to coastal shrimp regions, linking habitat protection and climate resilience with improvements in shrimp farming practices and livelihoods.
