Ecologically sustainable agriculture helps protect our fragile bio-spherically limited ecosystems. Record environmental destruction by industry is permanently eliminating entire habitats and species that did exist on Earth’s finite space. Agriculture must help regenerate this planet! This includes farming a species within its own endemic regions efficiently or utilising intensive techniques producing in an environmentally-controlled efficient method, excluding harm to our ecosystems.

This is particularly important for ocean pen aquaculture where there is the possibility of fish stock escaping. Marron crayfish, endemic to the south western regions of Australia, are now established in some of the farm dams and river systems of south eastern Australia. Marron are not significantly degrading their new habitat, but now new completely foreign crayfish from the America’s, deliberately smuggled into the country and ignored by the Government, are directly threatening the entirety of our continental bio-regions and growing aquaculture industry. Native Australian freshwater crayfish comprise over 60 species and are legislatively recognised as a true ‘Key-stone’ species, fundamental to the generation of ecosystem all-life preservation services.
