Mariculture
We need to change from being ocean hunters to being farmers. The agro-industrial approach to fishing has decimated the oceans. Some fish stocks, like Atlantic cod, already collapsed in the 1990s, while the global catch of wild seafood flatlined 20 years ago. One sustainable alternative is cultivating mussels in the ocean. Not only are they extremely healthy, packed with protein, fat and essential nutrients, they also grow fast with zero resource inputs – no feeds, no fertilisers, no fresh water. Mussels are the Buddhas of the deep, filtering and purifying 5,000 gallons a year as they breathe in and out.
