Answer: West Bengal
Notes: The Sustainable Aquaculture in Mangrove Ecosystems (SAIME) model in West Bengal’s Sundarbans recently received Global Technical Recognition from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. SAIME is a multi-stakeholder partnership (MSP) to improve shrimp trade while protecting mangrove ecosystems in West Bengal. It is a climate-adaptive and conservation-linked livelihood initiative that combines brackish water shrimp aquaculture with mangrove restoration. The approach is ecosystem-based and sustainable. SAIME is implemented in collaboration with Global Nature Fund (GNF), Nature Environment and Wildlife Society (NEWS), Naturland, and Bangladesh Environment & Development Society (BEDS).
