Mangroves vs. Shrimp Ponds: Eco-Shrimp Farming for a Sustainable Coastline

Project locationTeiping,Vietnam
University/SchoolUniversity of Manchester
Lead ArchitectXiyu Wang
Design TeamXiyu Wang (University of Manchester), Shihui Zhou (University College London), Yuyan Qian(Sichuan Agricultural University), Academic Supervisor: Hongfei Ji

Located in Vietnam’s Red River Delta, this project restores mangroves lost to shrimp farming by integrating ecology and aquaculture. Reintroducing mangroves into shrimp ponds purifies water, stabilizes soil, and provides natural habitats while supporting farmers’ income. Through phased sediment collection, water filtration, and habitat regeneration, the design transforms degraded coastlines into resilient eco-shrimp landscapes that balance environment and economy.
