Mangrove Eco - friendly shrimp farm

The Poseidon Eco Shrimp farm is located close to the picturesque Ecocity of Bahía de Caráquez, in the estuary of the Chone River. It was one of the first and only certified organic shrimp farms in the world. Methods used on the farm are based on principles of sustainable aquaculture. The owner Flor Maria Dueñas was the first woman in Latin America to operate a shrimp farm back in the early 70’s, also was the first woman to receive the organic shrimp farm certification. The shrimp farm now has been adapted to have mangroves inside the ponds, which make it the first of its kind in the world. Now inside her ponds are more than 15,000 mangrove trees, as a true and live model for a mangrove friendly shrimp farm.
