How does a legacy rooted in traditional seafood pave the way for innovation in aquaculture? This week's episode features Dick Jones, a veteran in the seafood industry with a rich family history in seafood processing and brokerage. Transitioning from the traditional seafood business to the forefront of aquaculture, Jones shares his journey through the collapse of groundfish stocks that led to his family business's bankruptcy, highlighting the critical need for sustainable fishing practices. At Whole Foods, he played a key role in pioneering sustainable seafood retailing, showcasing the impact of leadership and education in promoting sustainability. Now the CEO of aquaculture with Blue Ocean Mariculture, Jones discusses the challenges and opportunities within the industry, from operational hurdles to regulatory frameworks and workforce development. He underscores the importance of community engagement, transparency, and accountability in aquaculture to ensure public support and sustainable growth, offering listeners insightful perspectives on the evolution of seafood production towards a more sustainable future.

Welcome to part 2 of our water series in the Regenerative by Design podcast series. In this episode, we discuss our oceans. Most discussions about regenerative agriculture are focused on land systems. We will explore the role of regeneration in the world's oceans. We will learn about mariculture, kelp farming, and fishing through the lens of Dune Lankard. Dune has spent his life on the sea as both a subsistence and commercial fisherman. He is also a globally renowned environmental activist who worked tirelessly to advocate for the Prince Williams Sound, Copper River Delta, Alaskan wildlife, and Native Peoples. We will hear about how the Exxon Valdez oil spill dramatically impacted Prince Williams Sound and how his experiences influence his problem-solving today as we face climate change. Dune speaks from the perspective of someone who has made their subsistence and livelihood from the sea. He describes the changes he has seen throughout his lifetime and how it has affected how humans can live in harmony with the sea. In his lifetime, he has witnessed the loss of an entire ecosystem, an economy, and the way of life disappearing in Alaska and ocean communities worldwide. This deep episode will make you take a step back and see the delicate balance of humanity, economics, and ecosystems in a new light. 

It's widely agreed that one of our greatest global environmental challenges is the impact of fisheries on the oceans. Aquaculture, practiced at a small scale around the world and especially in Asia for centuries, emerged decades ago as a potential solution. But it soon became clear that aquaculture was using more wild-caught fish as feed (as an input), than it was generating as product. In other words, it was making the situation even worse. However, things have changed in the way that we manage this final frontier of agricultural intensification. And this story is not all about the ocean. Mariculture - marine aquaculture - supplies more than 50% of the world's seafood, but the freshwater aquaculture is even larger than the mariculture industry. Aquaculture is a big deal.I spoke about this subject with economist Roz Naylor, a professor of earth system science at Stanford University's Center for Food Security and the Environment. She led a seminal review to examine the "Effect of aquaculture on world fish supplies", which was published in the journal, Nature, in 2000. Twenty years later she led the publication of "A 20-year retrospective review of global aquaculture", again in Nature. Both papers took an exhaustive look at all the literature available at the time, to piece together comprehensive narratives that outlined the pros and cons; the advances and obstacles of one of humankind's most important and promising food systems, and its impact on the environment.Time stamps:2:10   What is aquaculture - what does it include?2:57   Where is most aquaculture happening?5:30   The many species used in aquaculture and how they are used.10:16  Roz's interest in aquaculture, as an economist.12:25  How aquaculture became more sustainable, and related trade-offs20:58   Technology that has improved aquacultural production and sustainability27:53   Aquaculture species' energy conversion efficiency29:33   The potential and limitations of "extractive species"34:57   Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture37:32   Future promise of aquacultureVisit www.case4conservation.com

This week, as part of our focus on new approaches and ideas to simplify our strategies for living sustainably on earth, we discuss RNA, DNA, the concept of the genome as an encyclopedic catalog for Nature as a way to provide guidance and explanations for how life works, and the various implications of eDNA on the ocean.

This week we hear from Samantha Glover, a graduate student at Old Dominion University. We discuss her graduate project studying the viability of saltwater quarries in the Florida Keys for Caribbean King Crab mariculture. We also highlighted a variety of her past experiences including her time at the American Littoral Society.
