Who Farms Matters
Meet the people building the new regenerative ocean economy.
This is our chance to do food right.
Because the regenerative ocean farming industry is in its infancy, we have the chance to do this right—to weave climate resilience and equity-driven decision-making into the DNA of the new ocean economy.
At GreenWave, we believe who farms matters.
We partner with fishermen, Indigenous groups, and other under-resourced coastal communities directly affected by climate change to ensure they benefit from the industry’s growth. From paid hatchery mentorships to laying the groundwork for the first two Indigenous-owned seaweed hatcheries in the country, we focus our programming and resources to support emerging leaders in this space.

Climate change is fueling warming waters and unpredictable extreme weather that directly impacts the livelihoods of lobstermen, fishermen, and shellfish farmers up and down the East Coast. Today, family fishing businesses like Hart Hatchery in New York are turning to kelp to preserve their maritime livelihoods for generations to come.
