Oyster farmer on Martha’s Vineyard begins to farm kelp as a sustainable addition to his farm
Editor’s Comments:
In OCEAN 42, we recommend our “CLOSE TO HOME” article, as we continue to investigate the emerging, Regional, economic potential for Sugar Kelp farming. Along with OCEAN Research Coordinator Jess Hillman, we visited a working, Sugar Kelp farm on Martha’s Vineyard. We agreed it was a “fluke” that three ferry boats broke down that day (fortunately the sea farmers were patient). This issue also introduces our OCEAN 2018 Environmental Invention Award: Making electricity from raindrops. Also in this issue, while Palm Oil agriculture has been growing at 20% annually, no one it seems, has been minding the externalities, such as pesticides.
