The following information is taken from the novel and innovative development Project EVVEN C.A's Business Plan. Shrimp culturing is highly profitable relative to other coastal livelihood options, and locally operated farms and hatcheries have had a major positive impact in terms of local employment and increase in standard of living in otherwise very poor communities. In the past decade, rapid and unplanned growth has resulted in serious problems of mangrove destruction, erosion, flooding, and disease.
• Facilitative conditions in each of the cases associated with successful project implementation include a perceived need for change and commitment from key stakeholders, multilevel involvement and participation of beneficiaries, continuity of effort, agreed upon roles and responsibilities, trust, and clear and shared objectives. EVVEN facilities are responsible in all considerations of the local and world community.
• Many operations in the shrimp industry are unsustainable, un optimized poorly managed enterprises, which have been started small. Their initial success comes with damage for the environment.
• As their shrimp habitat becomes more and more polluted, it is a race between shrimp diseases and environmentalists to shut them down. Please read the Cholutecan Declaration on Shrimp-farming. These environmentally unfriendly operations are being banned by environmental law in many jurisdictions, and due to the lack of control over their operation, are becoming unsuccessful due to the spread of diseases.
• Improving on these primitive methods, a new kind of aqua culture is evolving.
• This new kind of shrimp aqua culture is being pioneered in several locations throughout the world; it is clean and sustainable using all means available to raise production levels without being harmful to the environment.
• Once capital investment is available, EVVEN C.A. shall take this evolution of efficient operations to the next stage with a non-polluting, sustainable and innovative operation with the economics of scale to achieve the ultimate optimization in operations for shrimp cultivation.
• In addition to shrimp yields, other by products are planned in Stage 3 to take advantage of the capabilities of the facility such as chitin and organic fertilizer. "Chitin" is a shrimp by-product used in all kinds of industries including the chemical removal of heavy metals from water, manufacture of many kinds of fiber additive materials for such applications as medical suture thread, and even in the anti-fat diet additives such as "Fat Blocker" (TM).

 EVVENC.A. will be able to produce shrimp with a novel system at a fantastical low price, comparable to extensive aqua-culture , collecting through innovative technology all waste to produce a highly mineralized organic fertilizer. And a substance called chitin will be extract from the shrimp shells. It is not very difficult to grow shrimp though it becomes increasingly complex when the shrimp density in aqua-culture ponds is raised to a hundred post larvae per square meter. Please view the table: Harvest projection

 EVVEN C.A is one of the first development projects which will give job opportunities to the rural population of Margarita Island, Venezuela, a tax-free island in the caribbean sea without forgetting the economical side of this shrimp venture. The production of organic fertilizer, a commodity much needed in the rainforest region around the equator, raises the chances of reviving and reforesting the region in a healthy and ecologically balanced manner.  

 Chitin: A versatile product which is the production base of Chitosan, essentially a polymer of repeating sugar groups, is a positively charged polymer. It is used in cosmetics, water purification, waste recovery, food, medicine, and agriculture and utilizes its positively charged nature to cling to negatively charged surfaces such as skin, hair, etc. It is targeted in a number of biomedical applications, including drug delivery. There are several patented applications where Chitosan is used to deliver drugs in a more controlled fashion. These applications will require a very high purity product made under strict FDA guidelines. EVVEN C.A. as a producer has proper control about the quality of the Chitin and therefore of Chitosan. World market of Chitin and its sub-products is an estimated $ 645million.
