Integrated mangrove forest shrimp farming combines the economic use of mangrove forests with shrimp aquaculture, for which the underlying principle is simple: Mangrove forests are maintained and preserved in order to provide habitat and food for the animals that are raised in small channels and ponds within the forest.

In these systems, shrimp are raised with no feed or chemicals. The ecosystem fully relies on its own natural productivity, which creates incentives for farmers to maintain mangroves. The forest not only provides the shrimp with natural food, but also provides a better and more stable income for families and communities.

The Selva Shrimp® program works with third party verification of the underlying standards for participating farmers and frozen shrimp processors.  Whereas the shrimp farm criteria focus on better farming practices, strict controls on farming inputs and the conservation of mangroves, the chain of custody criteria safeguard the integrity of the supply chain and the traceability of all harvested shrimp from small-scale farms.

Selva Shrimp® are available as certified by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) as well as organic aquaculture standards (EU Organic and Naturland).
