dc.description.abstractThe Aquaculture Decision Support Tool (Aqua-DST https:// www.iwmi.org/news/aquaculture-decision-support-tool/), a trial version launched in October 2024, is an innovative, user-friendly platform designed to guide sustainable aquaculture development through science-based suitability analysis. By performing suitability analysis, Aqua-DST helps identify high-risk areas prone to flooding and water scarcity, which allows planners and others promoting aquaculture to support more informed locations for aquaculture ponds. By also identifying demand-supply deficit areas in terms of input availability, the Aqua-DST enables value chain actors to identify business opportunities that will also improve aquaculture adopters’ access to feed and other inputs. The tool facilitates informed decision-making for township-level aquaculture expansion in Upper Myanmar. This includes the Kachin, Magway, Mandalay, Sagaing, and Southern and Eastern Shan states/regions. In its first version, the tool covers 37 townships in Upper Myanmar.en_US
