The research topic for this assignment is shrimp farming in Thailand located throughout the coastal areas of the southern, eastern, and central regions of the country. Thailand’s huge shrimp export driven industry represents one of the largest in the world accounting for over twenty-five percent of food exports out of the country (Sriboonchitta & Wiboonpongse, n.d.).

Specific research questions include:
       1. What are the current unsustainable practices in shrimp farm production?
       2. In what part of the life cycle should intervention take place?
       3. What does a sustainable shrimp farming practice look like in the future?
