"When we mention farming, you don't think of fish. Fish farming, or aquaculture, accounts for half of seafood produced globally" #aquaculture#epcot#mybackyard
The thought of owning and working a combination #hemp#bamboo and #mushroom#farm alongside some #aquaculture setup lives rent free in my head at all times.
Et voilà, pour commencer je vais utiliser cette station de culture de #bouture et je verrai plus tard comment je les transferts dans des pots en verre plus grands pour l’#aquaculture
“We’ve already seen lots of the harmful impacts of #plastic waste from mussel farms on the seafloor,” says Jenny Hillman, a marine scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
“So, we’re really excited about what this research offers to support better practices in #mussel restoration—and in the #aquaculture industry.”
A lot of what we do here at Plant Humboldt has nothing to do with cannabis.
This is our lined, rainwater collection, irrigation pond. It's about 500 ft/sq and 16' at the deepest. Floating in the middle is a salvaged standup paddleboard converted into a floating island.
I set it up last August as an experiment. While the plants are growing (see photos from last year's planting time), they aren't thriving. I need to figure out what's going on.
Once I get it dialed in, the plan is to bolt five or six paddleboards together to make a large habitat island that will also support enough root mass below it that it will reduce the nutrient load in the water. Ideally this will reduce the planktonic algae that gives the water its pea soup color.
In the next post, I'll give a little info on why I think the plants aren't doing so well and ask for advice. Any aquatic #biologists who understand #pond chemistry out there?

Not enough fish in the sea and too many people needing them for food.
"The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) projects the need for a 15% increase in global #fish consumption by 2030.
There’s one big problem: The growth rate of the global wild-fish catch peaked in 1963 and plateaued in the 1990s. It has been in slow decline the last few years. When it comes to the wild-fish catch, we are likely past “peak fish." #fisheries#environment#population#overpopulation#ocean#sea#aquaculture#seafood
