Feed the World. Fuel the World. Restore Natural CO2 Levels. Cure Climate Change.
OceanForesters is an international engineering and scientific consulting practice. Operating as a California Benefit Corporation, it coaches, mentors, and supports local coastal communities to design, build, and operate permanent Aquatic Foods Ecosystems. Its 2050 goal is to support an increase from the current ~200 to 500 million tonnes/year of aquatic foods with a byproduct of a billion tonnes/year of CO2 nature-based climate mitigation and sequestration.
