Greenwave provides a free, open-source program to incentivize the creation of 3D Ocean Farms that can create up to five types of food sources: oysters, mussels, kelp, scallops, and fish. Oxygen depleted dead zones are a major global crisis, and the main perpetrator is the nitrogen coming from our farms, factories, and homes. 3D Ocean Farms sequester the nitrogen runoff and enable us to capture this valuable resource for use in fertilizer and animal feed.
3D Ocean Farms are designed to be replicated. Each new farm requires a minimal initial skill set and low capital costs. Their Farm Startup Program exists to support new farmers from permitting to purchase, and from seed to harvest. They work with large-scale institutional buyers and incubate social entrepreneurs to create new and stable markets for their farmers’ crops.
Kelp and other sea vegetables, known as “the Sequoias of the sea,” absorb up to five times the amount of carbon as land-based plants. With over 10,000 edible plants in the sea and more of the United States underwater than above, this is our opportunity to rearrange the seafood plate and reduce pressure on fish stocks, with sustainable seagreens in the middle and wild fish at the edges.
Greenwave's polyculture vertical farming system grows a mix of seaweeds and shellfish that require zero inputs - making it the most sustainable form of food production on the planet - while sequestering carbon and rebuilding reef ecosystems. Since their farms sit below the surface and leverage the entire water column, they produce high yields with a small footprint. Crops are used as food, fertilizer, animal feed and more.
GreenWave is an ocean farmer and fisherman-run organization dedicated to building a new blue-green economy that creates jobs, mitigates climate change and grows healthy food for local communities. We envision a day when there are thousands of restorative ocean farms on coasts around the world contributing food, fertilizers, energy and much more to local economies, while saving our oceans – and ourselves.
The crops grown on ocean farms require zero fertilizers, freshwater, or antibiotics, making 3D ocean farming the most sustainable form of food production on the planet.
