That is why, in our opinion, the future lies in fish farming, but in a more sustainable way than is currently the case. Animal friendly, without waste products, without the use of medicines and in an ecological way. The Oceans at Work Foundation therefore works together with partners and sponsors to realise circular fish farming. |
We contribute to a healthy future for humans, animals and the planet in the following ways: |
Students from various fields of study, such as coastal and marine management and (applied) biology, are enthusiastic about the opportunity to help shape this innovation. There are plenty of opportunities for both practical internships and literature studies, also at university level. |

For example, work is being done on optimising the first steps in the cultivation process - the cultivation of microscopic algae and planktonic animals: food for the growing fish. Students also look into the cycle during cultivation to find out how waste products can be disposed of in a natural way.

Project: Blauwe Polder 1In the project Blauwe Polder 1 (2021-2023), Oceans at Work Foundation is helping to realise a 'Sea farm on land' on the Wadden Island of Texel (the Netherlands). First, we are developing a hatchery for fry (young fish) and an outgrowth facility where the fish can develop into adults. Circular fish breeding techniques will be applied and further refined here. Initially, the fish will be turbot and cod. The hatchery will be located in the breeding centre of our knowledge partner Blue Linked in Hazerswoude-dorp (the Netherlands). The growth facility will be on Texel. |
Blauwe Polder 1 is a collaborative project between Oceans at Work Foundation, Salt Farm Foundation and Blauwe Polder Foundation. The project has been made possible by the Wadden Fund.

The Oceans at Work Foundation has a special collaboration with Dutch Maritime Productions (DMP). This Dutch film company will release a unique production in 2023: The Wild North Sea. The film will be shown in cinemas and as a TV series. It is an ode to the beauty of marine life along the Dutch coast - nature that cannot be tamed. |

When you look back, and circular fish farming is a fact, how great would it be if you knew that you had contributed to it? |
