These environmental issues extend beyond mangrove destruction.

Shrimp farming can lead to problems because farmers use chemicals
like pesticides, antibiotics, and other fish-killing substances to
maintain shrimp health.
Unfortunately, some of these chemicals can
cause cancer, and they are often used in ponds located near the coast
where the shrimp live.
These chemicals are carried out to sea by the
tides and contribute to water contamination.
While farmers attempt
to keep aquaculture ponds clean, the accumulation of toxic wastes
on the pond bottom ultimately leads to the abandonment of
the pond over time.
