Nadar Agha, a resident of Carmel, California, has been a real estate investor for over forty years. During his career, he has purchased and renovated several large properties. Nader Agha’s current real estate holdings include property at Moss Landings Commercial Park, which he is aiming to develop into the largest commercial fishery in the United States.
Commercial fisheries are beneficial for the environment in several ways. First, they are more efficient than resource-intensive alternatives: Far fewer resources are needed to farm one pound of fish than to farm one pound of other proteins, such as beef or chicken.
In addition, farmers can control the levels of mercury and other toxins in the feed of commercially farmed fish, ensuring a healthier end product for consumers. Finally, the technique of polyculture, which incorporates the farming of filter feeders such as shellfish into the farming of other types of fish, reduces the environmental impact of the farming system as a whole. Together, these practices ensure that commercially farmed fish feed more people with fewer resources, and minimize environmental impacts as a result.
