Sustainability

By using Shoreline Sustainable Feed - a safe and renewable resource - maturation units can reduce their dependency on unreliable resources and maximise the efficiency and sustainability of their operations.

Improving efficiency with increasing emphasis on totally sustainable production, Shoreline is sure that the use of its product can help to make a significant contribution towards improving efficiencies and reducing environmental damage. Boosting the fecundity of females and increasing the viability of embryos leads to reduced dependence on sources of wild-caught post larvae. There is also the further benefit of a steady supply of juveniles throughout the year leading to better use of facilities and reduced costs.

The high lipid content of our worms represents a positive step towards sustainability in aquaculture as it reduces the industry's dependence on fishery-derived oils. Ragworms in the Shoreline farms are grown on a low marine oil food based primarily on terrestrial plant materials and do not therefore compete for the limited resource of world fish stocks. In addition, our innovative culture method reduces the need for destructive worm-digging and promotes the continued survival of fragile coastal ecosystems. 

In these ways, Shoreline Polychaete Farms help create a global aquaculture industry that delivers efficiency and high-performance and also offers true economic and environmental sustainability.
