Vietnam’s Mekong Delta benefits from UK-led £3.5m project on sustainable aquaculture
The University of Stirling in Scotland is leading a £3.5 million ($4.5m) project to support sustainable aquaculture in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta.
The AquaSoS initiative aims to tackle key challenges like pollution, climate change, and disease through a new digital tool that uses satellite data, water sensors, and lab analysis to provide critical ecosystem insights.
The project is expected to help policymakers, scientists, and industry leaders balance food production with environmental protection. It is one of four projects launched under a £12m program by UK Research and Innovation to enhance sustainable aquaculture practices across Southeast Asia.
The funding is provided by the UK government’s International Science Partnership Fund.
