In reply to Kat. Good point, another factor to consider is the negative impact wild kelp forests have experienced as a result of ocean warming... I wonder if this would limit the growth potential of these polyculture aquafarms?

The whole thing is like, geometric; geometrically interrelated, or like the works of a classic timepiece. Really: how could this have taken this long?

People could think of ocean farm as regular farms. There are animal and plants that should be removed to increase the supply of ocean life that serve as human foods. It may be necessary to use “fertilizers” like supplying food to fishes that make them grow faster to increase the production… The problem is that the ocean is to deep adn to wide to be fully controlled. For example, a fish that is not consumed by humans may be harvested so it cannot feed itself of valuable fishs. Their meet could be used to raise river fish. This sort of manipulation of the ocean could be a path to increase it´s supply of food.

In reply to Kat. Presumably (hopefully!) there is some testing required, particularly where oysters are farmed given that they filter water and naturally bioaccumulate any toxins.

How can we help push this to the mainstream? How can we contribute to Greenwave training 10,000 farmers?

This is our chance to do right and build something powerful and beautiful and just out in the ocean.

While I do appreciate the emphasis on no need for pesticides or fertilizers, I do wonder what the quality of these products are as it relates to water pollution and contaminants. Just like a land farmer is concerned about contaminants beyond their control (from neighbors or industry polluting the air, soil, water…), surely there are issues (not highlighted in this article) that need to be acknowledged, studied, and understood. After all, we can consume pollutants through seafood.

In reply to Dan Donahoe. Many years ago , as part of hosting exchange students , I took a Japanese student out fishing in LIS . We caught some bottom fish .One student got tangled in kelp .As the boy fought to reel in his line There was a strand or ribbon still on the hook . When the boy saw it , he was jubilant , I didn't understand ? He made a meal that utilized the fish along with the Kelp He showed me various ways. his folks utilized the Kelp as food , seasoning ,etc .Been using it for a long time since that young man "accidently " hooked that Kelp ! Just by eliminating the needs for Nitrogen in fertilizing , pesticides , and the fresh water needed to maintain crops on land would help the environment healthier .
