Kelp farming is so promising. It’s so beneficial for humans and other animals alike. Great video

You threw AWAY truck loads of mollusks!? Really! Why did u harvest them? Could you not come up with a way to NOT waste nature's bounty? The statement of that "unavoidable waste" comes across as wontonly careless and wasteful.

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

Yeah, that bothered me as well… so many things could have been done to not waste those products…

[@garlandstyle5797]

From what I understand, they come to maturity and then will die anyway, they don't live forever. You harvest the mature ones and that allows for new growth on the lines. New growth is needed to perpetuate the harvest for the future.

Wondering if they could be turned into fertiliser for organic gardeners?

“Kelp is the new tobacco.” I don’t think he knows what people use tobacco for… lol And why does he look like Bradley Whitford (Actor from West Wing, the Handmaid’s Tale, Studio 60, etc.)???

20 acres as scalable?? Small little boat and no understanding of offshore farming?? This is a hobby farm with ZERO impact on moving the needle anywhere. All the activity in other countries…especially NZ has NOTHING to do with greenwave at all….they didn’t help the Maori in opotiki..NZ is responsible for all its own development and greenwave would be a joke there. This once again is a waste of funding and grants focused on someone’s personal agenda. Small scale does nothing for anyone….large scale exists in countries across the globe and has for decades…USA is just so far behind the times with no infrastructure or Federal support.

bro you miss the point xD its 20 acres is manageable by an individual. the power is in how many individuals can make this their job and have a great job. this spreads wealth and opportunity much better than having large organizations make all the decisions and monopolize land, customers, processing facilities, and lobbying. its a different kind of scale, one that is more democratic and can provide great work and opportunity to lots of people. he is putting the information out there for free on how to start a farm, as opposed to a large company that would likely keep this internal and secret.

@@joeylyman2382 it’s water not land , it’s farming not Amazon, 20 acres doesn’t produce enough protein for ANYONE to make a living, 20acre plots leads to an unregulated system of farming that will lead to more pollution than one large commercially regulated farm. It’s ludicrous to think 20acres will produce anything for anyone other than personal consumption and that the fact is you would need 50 or more individual farmers to even produce anything beneficial for the American people or start to decrease the seafood deficit.
