RPI has been conducting detailed feasibility studies to assess site suitability, determine commercial viability, and design of marine and freshwater shrimp farming operations since 1985. To date over 25 feasibility studies have been conducted and tens of thousands of hectares of land surveyed in the United States, Venezuela, Colombia, Aruba, Guadeloupe, the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Panama, El Salvador, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and Greece to assess shrimp culture potential. Feasibility studies include site visitation, study of nearshore coastal processes, associated estuarine dynamics, sedimentation issues, soil and water analysis, topographic work, preliminary design, and economic and financial studies.
