MARINE GARDEN

Marine Garden is a prototype, the first of its kind designed to demonstrate how to create a more sustainable, environmentally-friendly prawn farming enterprise using recirculating aquaculture systems that can be implemented in non-coastal settings... Where traditional prawn farm set ups have limited options for disposal of waste produced by the crop, Marine Garden is able to recirculate the ocean water continuously with no discharge to the surrounding ecosystems. Trials are underway to the use of the diluted waste sediment as a fertiliser for use in onsite agricultural crops including fruit trees and vegetables. To explore the benefits further, Marine Garden has engaged the University of Southern Queensland to undertake research in the viability of this potential by-product... Through their initial trials, Marine Garden can produce high yield harvests of the Black Tiger prawns due to their advanced filtration system set up. Where traditional systems may be able to host up to 30..
