WWF, in consortium with the World Bank, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA), is working to analyze and share experiences on better management practices for shrimp aquaculture. They have published numerous reports and case studies on shrimp aquaculture. The reports are available online at http://www.enaca.org/shrimp, under the Case Studies heading.

Shrimp Farming and the Environment: Can Shrimp Farming Be Undertaken Sustainably? (PDF, 640k)
This World Bank report was prepared based on a study conducted in 1998. The document provides an analysis of shrimp farming and the recommendations from this report led to the formation of the Consortium program.
Shrimp Farming and the Environment Booklet (PDF, 32k)
Development of coastal aquaculture, and shrimp farming in particular, has generated debate in recent years over the social and environmental costs and benefits. Rapid expansion of shrimp farming in some countries in Latin America and Asia has focused attention on the need for effective management strategies. A World Bank, NACA, WWF and FAO Consortium program has worked on these issues, as described in this short booklet.
