The document describes the phases of construction for an aquaculture project in Mexico. Phase 1 involves 50 hectares of land divided into 8 production ponds and 7.5 hectares of bioremediation canals. Phase 2 will expand the project to 62 additional hectares. Construction as of April 2016 had completed 7 interior pond borders for the ponds in Phase 1. Phase 3 is an existing traditional shrimp farming operation.
