The Ocean Solution

Bren Smith, a former commercial fisherman, has pioneered vertical kelp and shellfish farming as an innovative approach to food production.

After facing challenges with crashing cod stocks and climate-driven storms affecting oyster farming, Smith developed this method of restorative ocean farming.

The technique produces large quantities of nutritious food and contributes positively to environmental factors.

It helps combat the climate crisis by absorbing carbon and other nutrients, purifying the ocean, fostering aquatic habitats, and providing a sustainable path for those who want to continue working at sea, aligning with Smith's sea-going lifestyle.
