Aquatic Habitat Enhancement
Aquatic habitat enhancement is vital for improving the quality of living environments for aquatic species. This practice involves modifying or restoring natural habitats such as rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal areas to boost biodiversity and water quality. In aquaculture, it can mean the introduction of artificial structures like floating rafts or shelters to provide fish with suitable habitats. For wild species, habitat restoration efforts such as planting aquatic vegetation, creating fish passageways, or enhancing sediment conditions improve ecological balance. Habitat enhancement also includes the reduction of physical disturbances and pollution. These efforts help to improve species survival, reduce stress, and contribute to the overall health of aquatic ecosystems.
