Pitch
Biomimicry of conventional energy-intensive sewage treatment systems using mass scale filter feeder mussel farms has an immense potential for coastal pollution abatement and energy savings. Value creation at each stage is significant including nutrient removal (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Organic carbon) from coastal zones, economic value-add and protein source with high export potential. The proposed model has direct contribution to multiple Sustainable Development Goals such as SDG 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13, and 14 and significant GHG reductions leading to climate mitigation.
