Who we are
Started in the fish pond. Now working across the whole chain.
AquaProX Africa began as a youth-led aquaculture initiative. Today we work across fisheries, aquaculture, sustainable seafood and the wider Blue Economy, from the people who catch and farm fish to the markets and policies that move it.
We bring together young professionals, researchers, producers, industry and development partners to build practical solutions for food security, livelihoods and environmental sustainability.
