North Carolina. I have Phil Totaro in California, Joel Saxum's back in Texas, and Rosemary Barnes is here from the great country of Australia where Joel and Rosemary, along with Matthew Stead, will be rolling along the countryside visiting with. Wind turbine operators here soon, right Speaker 3: Yeah, so the, the 11th through the 14th, uh, we're gonna be jumping down to Melbourne because of course that's, that's wind central for operators and, uh, ISPs in Australia. And we're gonna be talking about all kinds of stuff with, uh, anybody that listen to us talk. So if you're listening here, uh, and you're in [00:01:00] Australia, connect up, uh, joel.saxo at uh, wg lightning.com. Uh, we'll get some meetings set 'cause we want to, we want to hear what issues are happening down there, right? What can we help with? What can we solve? Of course, Alan and I on the lightning side here, Rosemary is an independent expert engineer for you name it, in turbines. Uh, and our friend Matthew Stat over at iLogic Ping in the CMS space. And amongst the three of us, we also have a huge network, right? So if we're, if we're, if we getting into conversation, getting a chance to chat, tell us what. You got for problems and we'll help you solve 'em. So we'll be down there the 11th or the 14th of August. Uh, reach out.  Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's a lot happening in Australia at the minute. It's starting to come out a winter, getting into blade repair season that is, uh, about to fire up in Australia. A lot going on around the world. And today is Wednesday when we're recording. And this is the day where Vattenfall released their Samuel L. Jackson. Add, it's about a minute long [00:02:00] and you see Samuel L out on the shoreline with a bag of what? Seaweed chips. Joel, is that what they are? Or crackers of some sort?  Speaker 3: Yeah, a hundred percent. I gotta be, I'll be a little bit, little honest with you. I had some of those, not the same ones, not the Vattenfall ones, but I had some the other day just to try 'em out. They're not my flavor. I'm gonna be honest with you. Don't they just taste like sea salt? They taste like seaweed.  Speaker 2: That's what it is.  Speaker 3: I know, but they're, they're not that awesome.  Speaker 2: But these, uh, crackers were the output of the seaweed and all the things growing around the offshore wind turbines. I, I assume it's just seaweed, right, Joel? It's not anything else but seaweed. There's no fish involved in that. It's kelp. But see, like kelp, so  Speaker 3: like offshore kelp farming is a complete industry. Right. It's just like offshore fish farming. They put these lines out, it grows on the lines, and then they pull it in and they harvest it. This is a regular thing, however, having infrastructure out in the water, IE turbine foundations helps with all of these things. It's structure there that protects 'em from, um,

From powering cars to feeding farm animals, how using seaweed more can help the planet. We hear how a local business in Barbados is using sargassum seaweed to power cars, providing an eco-friendly alternative for islanders and potentially helping to clear the beaches of smelly seaweed. Also we visit the European company aiming to replace single-use plastics with seaweed-based packaging. And how feeding seaweed to cattle can dramatically cut emissions of planet-warming methane gas.People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems.

Seaweed farms offer many benefits. They provide food for people, habitat for fish and other organisms, and protection against erosion during storms. They can help prevent “red tides,” and could become a source of biofuel.Seaweed stores carbon in the sediments on the ocean floor. That helps reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is the major cause of our warming climate.Wild seaweed forests already stash away huge amounts of carbon. Farms cover a much smaller area, so their benefit is smaller. But seaweed farming is a “growing” business—the yield has been increasing by more than seven percent per year. Almost all of the farming takes place in Asia. The United States is a minor player, but farms have been developed in New England, the Pacific Northwest, and Alaska.Researchers studied the sediments below 20 seaweed farms in various parts of the world. The oldest, in Tokyo Bay, has been around for 320 years. The largest, in China, covers 58 square miles.The scientists found that the amount of carbon in the sediments below the farms was twice that found in the surrounding sediments. And they found that as a farm ages, it becomes more efficient at “planting” the carbon.Estimates say that seaweed farms could cover many times their present area by 2050. And the researchers said that if the farms are efficiently managed, they could become important weapons in the fight against our warming climate.

Saffran and Christian discuss the differences between American and Eastern cultures, what it means to be an American, generational divides and political polarization, and innovative seaweed ink.

We know that the warming world is devastating ecosystems, but it's not always because organisms are struggling. This is especially the case in the ocean, where different seaweed species can have very different reactions to changing conditions. 

A new study from the University of Canterbury has shown that seaweed could potentially avert a significant number of deaths from starvation in the future.

Fiordland is known for its stunning natural beauty - a magnet for visitors - but not all are welcome. 

As global demand for sustainable solutions rises, India is emerging as a significant player in the booming seaweed industry. With over 7,500 kilometres of coastline and more than 800 native seaweed species, the country is turning to this climate-friendly marine crop not just as a source of organic fertiliser, but as a powerful tool in the fight against climate change. Through its ambitious "seaweed mission" and planned investment of $86.8 million, India aims to increase seaweed production to 11 million tonnes by 2025, unlocking new opportunities in agriculture, food and cosmetics. FRANCE 24's Khansa Juned and Lisa Gamonet report.

The problem with seaweed aquaculture is that it's not always as ocean-friendly as it seems. While seaweed farming is often praised as a climate solution—able to sequester carbon, improve water quality, and support sustainable food systems—scientists are now warning that its rapid, unregulated expansion could be damaging vital marine ecosystems. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, we dive into how seaweed farms are being placed over seagrass meadows, disrupting fish nurseries, smothering biodiversity, and altering water chemistry in ways we're only beginning to understand. You'll hear about the overlooked risks, from nutrient depletion and fertilizer runoff to coral reef shading and invasive species. We also explore solutions: better regulations, smarter zoning, and the importance of protecting seagrass habitats that store carbon and support marine life. Seaweed aquaculture can be part of the solution, but only if we act with caution and science in mind.

Show Notes Episode 498: “Is It Safe To Go Back In The Water?” This week Host Dave Bledsoe got drunk and kicked out of the New York Aquarium for shouting “I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU” at the shark tank. (Again.) On the show this week we talk about the movie that changed how Americans went to the movies and how they went to the beach! We talk about Jaws on its 50th Anniversary! Along the way Dave explains how childhood trauma made him the man he is today. (Drunk and afraid of sharks) Then we “dive” into why the Jersey Shore is a thing for people and sharks.  From there we dig into the story of the movie (Not the plot we all know it) and how it shaped popular culture.  From how movies were made and watched to how fear of sharks made people go out and kill sharks. (Rude!) We explain why a tasteless gluey soup killed more sharks than Roy Scheider could ever dream of.  Finally we examine the movie's role in gender dynamics and male friendships. (Trust us, it is funnier than it sounds!) Our Sponsor this week is Sean the Friendly Shark, who wants you to know that SHARK stands for  sharing happiness and radiating kindness! We open with the Jaws trailer and close with The Seaweeds and a romance gone wrong.

Mud sunscreen for pigs: farmers tell us what they do for livestock and crops to combat a heatwave.And seaweed farms, which aren't always popular with local residents.Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

The NFU has confirmed it sent a private letter to the Prime Minister, raising concerns over a prospective trade deal with the Gulf States. It said the deal could open the UK up to imports of low-welfare meat from the Gulf, and more importantly, many other countries around the world. Although meat from the Gulf States might come up to UK hygiene standards, some welfare groups are concerned about the conditions animals are kept in, and the intensive nature of production, especially poultry.Annual payments farmers in England receive based on the amount of land they have will be capped at just £600 next year. New details have emerged after last week's Spending Review.And there's evidence that humans have been using seaweed as a fertiliser for thousands of years. When chemical fertilisers were developed a century ago, that use of seaweed largely died out, but for some, it's making a comeback.Presented by Anna Hill Produced by Heather Simons

Anna Hill finds out how new farming technology could mean more jobs, not fewer. A new report from The Institute for Agriculture and Horticulture says the expansion of artificial intelligence apps collecting data and providing real-time advice will mean recruiting and training more people, to give farmers technical support. In Northern Ireland, stealing farm animals is being linked to organised crime, and it seems the current high stock values are making them even more attractive to criminals.As arable farmers wait for their crops to ripen in the fields, many are watching grain prices carefully. Grain isn't just a domestic commodity, but is traded worldwide...and aspects like exchange rates, and President Trump's new tariffs make a big difference to the price.And we visit the Scottish Association for Marine Science in Oban, where scientists are embarking on a new five-year international research project looking at the economics of extracting various products from seaweed, as well as assessing the climate resilience of different species...and even training up new seaweed farmers.Presented by Anna Hill Produced by Heather Simons

A Scottish abattoir has closed with the loss of 90 jobs. Scotbeef at Inverurie has been shut. The company says an operational review concluded it was necessary to protect the long-term future of the business amid industry challenges. Earlier this year the number of cattle in Scotland fell to its lowest for a decade and farming groups called for government support to rebuild the national herd, warning that some abattoirs might close because they'd become uneconomic. All this week, we'll be talking about seaweed. At the Holkham estate in north Norfolk, a trial funded by the WWF and the Co-op foundation has been trying to prove that the use of seaweed based biostimulant can reduce the need for artificial nitrogen fertiliser, without affecting yields. If successful it could present a way for farms to reduce costs, and minimise the negative side effects of overusing fertilisers.The cost of rural crime has fallen. New figures from the insurers NFU Mutual show a 16.5% fall last year - the costs are put at £44 million in comparison with £53 million the year before. The biggest fall is in the theft of agricultural vehicles, and the number of animals killed or injured in dog attacks was also down, by a quarter, but livestock theft remained high.

Moonlit seaweeds. Dreamy underwater forests. Mounds of beach debris. Not plants. Let's talk about where seaweed grows and whether or not it will save us all. Macrophycology means “big-ass algae” so let's join five dazzling seaweed enthusiasts: guest-in-chief Dr. Patrick Martone of the University of British Columbia, UConn Professor Emeritus and “grandfather of seaweed farming” Dr. Charlie Yarish, seagrass scientist Becky Swerida, and marine science PhD students Danielle McHaskell and Angela Jones. We'll chat about what's hidden in its cells, the best ones to eat, how fast it grows, how deep it gets, cold vs. tropical seaweeds, what to do if your vacation pictures feature mounds of sargassum, and whether or not kelp can kill a chicken. In next week's episode, you'll hear all about the aquaculture of cultivating and eating things from the seaweed to shellfish to shrimp farmed in a basement doughboy.

There's a new short documentary that takes a deep dive underwater in Wellington. Seaweed: A Love Story follows Dr Nicole Miller scuba diving in the city's harbour highlighting both the beauty and underwater plight of its underwater forests.

On this lively episode of Podcast Network Sandbox's “Random Fit,” hosts Wendy Batts and Ken Miller dive into an unexpectedly trendy topic: the health, fitness, and environmental benefits of seaweed. Inspired by Wendy's son's curiosity at the grocery store, the duo unpacks everything you never knew you wanted to know about this ocean-grown superfood. Wendy and Ken kick things off by discussing seaweed's booming industry—did you know seaweed farming is growing at 7% annually and requires no pesticides or fresh water? Ken brings his personal experiences to the table, sharing his love for seaweed salad and its popularity across Asian cultures, while Wendy, ever the skeptic, admits she's still on the fence with the flavor. Beyond the taste debate, the co-hosts highlight seaweed's impressive nutritional profile. Rich in vitamins A, C, E, K, and B-complex, as well as vital minerals like calcium and magnesium, seaweed offers much more than a crunchy snack. The conversation explores its cardiovascular, digestive, and metabolic benefits, making a compelling case for fitness professionals and health enthusiasts alike. But it's not all rainbows: Ken cautions listeners to be mindful of sourcing due to potential ocean contaminants. Plus, they share practical tips and meal ideas for integrating seaweed into your diet—whether you're a foodie or a reluctant first-timer. Tune in for a fun, informative journey that might make you rethink your next snack run—and discover why seaweed might just deserve a place in your healthy lifestyle toolbox!

Hear from Alyssa Gilbert, Director of Innovation at the Grantham Institute of Climate Change and the Environment, as we dive into the climate startup ecosystem. Innovation can provide powerful responses to environmental risks, from AI tools predicting the spread of wildfires in real time, to seaweed-based packaging replacing plastic at mass scale. But in fact, innovation means more than just inventing new technologies – it also means changing the ways we do business today, and helping connect these solutions with the people who can best make use of them. That's why in today's episode, we're diving into the climate innovation ecosystem. We explore: The challenges and opportunities for early-stage climate startups, from scaling to securing investment; How business model innovation is just as crucial as new technology in creating real-world impact; and What risk professionals can do to engage with, and support, climate innovators.

In this episode, join Julie Henningsen and Kaycee McIntosh as they dive into the astonishing story of Dr. Alain Bombard, a French physician and biologist who, in 1952, undertook an audacious scientific experiment. To prove that humans could survive adrift at sea using only ocean resources, Bombard set off to drift across the Atlantic Ocean in a small inflatable dinghy, without food or water. Over the course of 65 harrowing days, he endured severe conditions, subsisting on raw fish, plankton, and minimal sea water. Explore his motivations, the challenges he faced, and how his journey revolutionized maritime survival techniques. Despite criticism and controversy, Bombard's story is a testament to human endurance, ingenuity, and the relentless drive to push the boundaries of what is deemed possible. 00:00 Introduction and Setup 00:23 The Craziest Ocean Experiment in History 01:30 Meet Dr. Alain Bombard 03:19 The Motivation Behind the Journey 05:42 The Harsh Realities of Maritime Survival 08:30 Bombard's Unwavering Determination 24:28 Preliminary Voyages and Lessons Learned 31:16 The Resilience of Seaweed and Plankton 32:43 Bombard's Departure and Initial Challenges 36:00 Surviving on Plankton and Isolation 37:48 Nature's Cruel Challenges 40:22 Wildlife Encounters and Near-Death Experiences 45:24 The Encounter with the British Cargo Vessel 49:15 Final Stretch and Arrival in Barbados 55:32 Bombard's Legacy and Influence 01:00:25 Modern Survival Stories and Techniques 01:03:34 The True Lesson of Bombard's Journey Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ Read Dr. Bombard's book for free online. https://archive.org/details/the-bombard-story-1953/page/n27/mode/2up

You should do your own research and make your own independent decisions when considering any investment decision.Don't miss an episode from Climate Capital!Plastics are a climate issue — and Sway is tackling it head-on. On this week's CC Pod, host Dimitry Gershenson sits down with Julia Marsh, Co-founder & CEO of Sway, a California-based materials startup scaling seaweed-based, home-compostable packaging. Their patented tech mimics the performance of plastic, plugs into existing infrastructure, and decomposes into healthy soil. Alongside Co-founder & COO Matthew Mayes, the team has developed patented tech that matches the performance of plastic, integrates into existing infrastructure, and decomposes into healthy soil.Julia shares her journey as an "ocean kid" from the Monterey Bay area, where her love for the ocean and design converged to inspire her work at Sway. The company's patented products aim to replicate the performance attributes of conventional plastics while being environmentally friendly. Unlike traditional plastics, Sway's materials are derived from abundant, regenerative seaweed, which decomposes into healthy soil after use, making them a sustainable alternative.The episode delves into the significant challenges posed by plastic pollution, especially flexible plastics, which account for a vast majority of plastic waste. Julia highlights that over 5 trillion bags, wrappers, and pouches are produced annually, with less than 3% being recycled. This staggering statistic underscores the urgency of Sway's mission.Sway's innovative approach utilizes various types of responsibly farmed seaweed, allowing the company to avoid over-reliance on a single species. The seaweed is processed into pellets that can be used in existing plastic manufacturing systems, enabling a seamless transition to more sustainable materials. Julia explains the complex process of blown film extrusion, where these pellets are transformed into films for products like grocery bags and packaging materials.Throughout the conversation, Julia emphasizes the importance of perseverance in the face of challenges. She recounts the arduous journey of developing a viable product, which involved numerous trials and iterations. With a strong emphasis on collaboration and community support, she notes that the climate tech sector fosters a unique spirit of camaraderie among entrepreneurs.Listeners are encouraged to support Sway by following their journey on social media platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn.
