I did a little searching around the forums and I couldn't find anyone talking about this company in particular or this style of farming, so I'm starting one here.

Hey everyone! Has anyone ever heard of a company called Greenwave? Apparently they're talking about farming a polyculture of scallops, kelp, oysters, clams, and maybe fish in the oceans. They do it on a vertical system, so it doesn't take up much surface area, and they say that it's restorative to the ecosystem since it pulls carbon and nitrogen out of the water. Not only that, but on the site it talks about requiring "zero inputs", that is, no fertilizer, freshwater, or antibiotics. So all in all they say it restores oceans, heals dead zones, produces food, sinks carbon, and requires low-to-no inputs (and, of course, creates jobs and is replicable and scalable).

Now obviously some of these claims are exaggerated, but I don't know enough about ocean farming to know which. Does anyone know more about ocean farming? Is it actually awesome? (I'd love the answer to be yes) Are there hidden environmental consequences? Can it clean oceans, create habitat, and provide food?

Hey all!

New permie and first time poster here. I washing wondering if anyone has heard anything (or has any thoughts) about building chinampas in saltwater (or brackish water). I found something small online about using them to restore wetlands and something else about saltwater farming, but nothing combining the ideas. Has anyone tried this before?

Thanks!
