00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,600
Hello and welcome to the 
reversing climate change. 

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,700
Pastime, Ross, Kenyan, we have a
bonus episode with an alumnus 

21
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:07,100
dr. 
Brian Vaughn hurts in, you are 

22
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:09,800
back on the show executive 
director of the climate 

23
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:15,000
foundation and globe-trotting 
for marine permaculture all over

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,500
the place. 
Exciting things, afoot, and I 

25
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:22,400
recently saw you in a movie, I 
didn't expect to I was watching 

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,600
2040 by Damon Guillermo. 
I believe is how you say it? 

27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,900
Brian. 
Damon Gamo. 

28
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:29,200
Damon game. 
Oh yeah. 

29
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,300
Greetings from Earth. 
It's great to be here and we 

30
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:33,700
love working with Damon on the 
2040 film. 

31
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:36,300
That was such a great 
opportunity, to showcase our 

32
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:41,200
chance to draw down in the soils
and the Seas and be able to work

33
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,200
towards a healthy climate by 
2040. 

34
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,800
I heard about it through the 
drawdown, Seattle group, the 

35
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,700
organizer reached out and said, 
hey, you want to watch this. 

36
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:49,700
We're doing a live screening, I 
said, sure. 

37
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,800
And I was wondering ahead of 
time if any familiar faces would

38
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,400
appear lo and behold Brian 
Vaughn Hartson out there on a 

39
00:01:57,408 --> 00:02:02,400
boat looking like a real nada. 
All professional out there. 

40
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,500
Very, very cool. 
So yeah. 

41
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:06,800
How did that happen? 
And what exactly were you doing 

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,600
with Damon? 
Well, you know, I'm reading this

43
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,700
book and podcast right now by 
Amanda Palmer called The Art of 

44
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:15,800
asking, and this is all about, 
you know, leaning into the 

45
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,700
change that the earth needs and 
we asked our friends, my friend 

46
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:21,600
had a 39-foot, Hinckley 
sailboat, beautiful boat. 

47
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,300
He spent like 12 years restoring
the hall and building the whole 

48
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:27,800
thing and getting it out. 
We got Damon down in Woods Hole.

49
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,100
Our home town in Massachusetts. 
We Got out on the sailboat and 

50
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:34,700
we shot this and it was just so 
much fun to capture that, you 

51
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:38,300
know, my partner, Rebecca got a 
picture of that sailboat on the 

52
00:02:38,300 --> 00:02:42,100
on the front cover of wooden 
sailboat magazine and it's just 

53
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:44,000
one of these classic Hinckley 
39s. 

54
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,500
You know, it's just, it was so 
much fun being part of that but 

55
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:49,900
that's it, you know, it's this 
sustainable Marine culture 

56
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,400
permaculture, if you will, that 
is where it's at, it's about 

57
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,700
using renewable energy sources, 
whether it's Marine solar near 

58
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:00,200
the equator, wind energy at the 
higher latitudes or wave One we 

59
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,600
can to effectively provide the 
energy, we need to provide Deep 

60
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,600
Water, Irrigation to our kelp 
forest and our seaweed Farms 24 

61
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,500
hours a day and that's what 
we're testing from the 

62
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:13,700
Philippines to Tasmania. 
Yeah, you're on in Australia 

63
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:16,500
right now is you just got out of
quarantine on arrival? 

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,400
Yeah, we're just getting out of 
quarantine. 

65
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,400
We just, we had half a year and 
Singapore, we managed to get a 

66
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,000
visa from Australia. 
And we're going to set up our 

67
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,700
International headquarters for 
the climate foundation in 

68
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:29,700
Queensland, and we're going to 
be doing engineering test with 

69
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:32,300
our Our key Partners hash 
limited out of Toronto Canada, 

70
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:36,200
they've got 10,000 professionals
working with deployments in 150 

71
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,000
countries. 
And for the second year they've 

72
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,300
signed up for a major pro bono 
initiative to design the Marine 

73
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:44,800
permaculture at the 100 square 
meter scale. 

74
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,900
The thousand square meter scale,
and the commercial ha, and we're

75
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:50,000
thrilled to be working with 
Partners like that and Minter, 

76
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,600
Ellison, Law Firm out of 
Australia. 

77
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,400
Who's really helped us on 
permitting on IP development and

78
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,800
ultimately on building the 
future that we need to see. 

79
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,700
Apply it across the Pacific, 
Ocean to enable regenerating 

80
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:06,700
life in the ocean feeding. 
The billions of people that rely

81
00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:09,900
on the ocean for food and 
ultimately measuring that carbon

82
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:14,100
export of these regenerative 
interventions to see how this is

83
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:17,000
part of getting us back to a 
healthy climate, how much of 

84
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,200
your choice of Australia is you 
paying homage to Bill Mollison? 

85
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,700
Bill is huge, you know. 
I'm working with Bill and with 

86
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:27,800
Dave Holmgren to really lean 
into permaculture. 

87
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,700
You know, Dave Holmgren told me 
me that bills original 

88
00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:35,800
inspiration for permaculture was
actually from the Tasmanian kelp

89
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,800
forests on the east side of 
Tasmania it was that connection 

90
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,200
to the Sea and watching the sea 
birds and the Sea Life, the 

91
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,600
seals and the sea lions and the 
fish all interacting below, the 

92
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,200
water and above the water that 
was bills, original inspiration.

93
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,400
And so, you know, I missed 
meeting bill by just a few 

94
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,700
months before he passed away. 
But this idea that bill got 

95
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:03,100
Started with the whole idea of 
permaculture really from 

96
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:06,400
watching the Marine ecosystem 
and then taking it to the 

97
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,100
terrestrial Forest. 
But now we've gone full circle 

98
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:13,100
and say Marine permaculture is 
critically important to our 

99
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:16,400
survival as a species to 
regenerate life in the ocean. 

100
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:19,100
Make sure we've got enough food 
for billions of people and 

101
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:22,100
ultimately getting our carbon 
budget back into balance. 

102
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,100
Someone listening, if you're not
familiar with what permaculture 

103
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:26,700
is. 
We've done a couple episodes one

104
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:29,300
of which is with Brian that you 
should definitely listen to to 

105
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:30,400
get up to speed. 
Speed. 

106
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:33,300
But Brian, how would you 
introduce someone to concept as 

107
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:36,400
broad as permaculture in a 
little bonus episode? 

108
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,200
Like this can you help someone 
get up to speed really quickly 

109
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,700
about how you're thinking about 
this? 

110
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:45,200
Well, Dave Holmgren is written 
on the Dozen design principles 

111
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:49,600
of permaculture and it's really 
about living in equilibrium with

112
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,800
the forest and sustainably 
harvesting from that Forest to 

113
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,600
sustain life. 
But furthermore to identify the 

114
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,800
gaps that may exist and to 
Address those gaps as needed to 

115
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,600
ensure a healthy and thriving 
ecosystem, that can support 

116
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,800
humans and other animals. 
I mean, it's really where we are

117
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,600
part of Nature and we should not
divorce ourselves from nature. 

118
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:15,300
That's the root cause of most of
the problems. 

119
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,300
And so, by being part of nature,
we can live in equilibrium with 

120
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:22,100
nature. 
And what we are doing is taking 

121
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:25,800
those 12 permaculture design 
principles and applying those to

122
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,500
the marine environment, so that 
we can have healthy Seas. 

123
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,700
And healthy soils that will 
result in a healthy Planet. 

124
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:37,300
I see, I usually introduce 
people by saying something, like

125
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,300
creating systems that feed 
themselves such that there are 

126
00:06:40,308 --> 00:06:42,500
not Reliant upon external 
inputs. 

127
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,100
Especially synthetic ones. 
You have this sort of like 

128
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:48,100
closed loop or they call them 
guilds often in permaculture. 

129
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,100
But things that just work well 
together, such that you have 

130
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:54,400
what's the one straw Revolution?
Line about lazy man's farming, 

131
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,800
it just sort of comes together 
without you having to actively 

132
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,900
manage, like steer inputs into 
it. 

133
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:01,300
Is that kind of how See it or am
I missing something. 

134
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:03,200
There the fewer inputs the 
better. 

135
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,600
The beauty about kelp for us is 
that they don't need any 

136
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,900
fertilizer, they don't need any 
fresh water and they don't need 

137
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:12,200
any land area. 
And we realize that there's this

138
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,600
little sliver of life on the 
edge of the Pacific Ocean. 

139
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,400
That was actually the most 
productive ecosystem on the 

140
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,100
planet. 
You look at a tropical 

141
00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:23,400
rainforest, like the Brazilian 
Rainforest can fix maybe two 

142
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,700
thousand two hundred grams of 
carbon per square meter per 

143
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:27,300
year. 
But did you know that the kelp 

144
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:31,600
forest just offshore Seattle or 
just Offshore California, could 

145
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,500
do 15 percent more than that per
square meter per year, in terms 

146
00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:39,400
of carbon fixation, it is the 
highest productive ecosystem on 

147
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,700
the planet. 
And if we can identify what's 

148
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:48,100
needed in terms of substrate and
irrigation to enable that kelp 

149
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:52,400
forest, ecosystem to thrive 
further offshore u.s. eez goes 

150
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,200
out 300 km. 
And if we can effectively enable

151
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,300
that entire exclusive economic 
zone, Opened up to doing 

152
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:06,500
sustainable Marine permaculture.
We can in fact, rescue the life 

153
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:08,700
on the planet. 
When we've got Marine heat 

154
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:10,900
waves. 
When you have El Nino, when the 

155
00:08:10,900 --> 00:08:14,700
upwelling shuts down and we lose
Shoreline kelp forests, these 

156
00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:17,800
Marine permaculture is offshore 
can keep the sardines alive. 

157
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,500
They can keep the sea lions 
alive. 

158
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:20,900
They can keep the sea birds 
alive. 

159
00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:24,500
Regenerate, those ecosystem 
Services offshore even during 

160
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:26,900
times of climate disruption. 
And that's what it's all about 

161
00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:30,400
is having that equilibrium and 
the amazing thing is Is with 

162
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,100
sunlight and some deep water. 
You've got a thriving kelp 

163
00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:36,900
forest, that's all it takes. 
What's been the hurdle for 

164
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:39,799
getting this mainstream? 
It seems like you're doing a lot

165
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:43,400
of the research saying. 
This works at 100 M2. 

166
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,200
Let's try it at 1,000, and it 
seems like a big part of your 

167
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,700
research. 
In this trailblazing is about 

168
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:51,500
the commercial viability of 
these systems. 

169
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,200
Is that what you're working on? 
Basically? 

170
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:56,200
Yeah, it's about Crossing, from 
the science in the basic 

171
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,500
science, we know through to the 
commercialization and we call 

172
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:03,000
that Passing the valley of death
and quite frankly, it takes like

173
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,700
10 million dollars to get from 
the R&D to a successful and 

174
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:08,600
growing industry. 
And that's what we're doing 

175
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,700
right now. 
And so we've had some help from 

176
00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:13,800
foundations. 
We've done a crowdfunder down in

177
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,600
Australia, with Intrepid 
foundation, and we've raised two

178
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,000
thirds of a million dollars for 
a kelp forest deployment off of 

179
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,500
Australia that will demonstrate 
this at maybe 100 M2 scale. 

180
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,700
We're fundraising right now in 
the US with a climate 

181
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:32,500
foundation.org website and R t 
to do crowdfunder centered on 

182
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:34,100
the US. 
And the idea is that in the 

183
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:36,900
Pacific Ocean. 
We're going to raise a million 

184
00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:39,200
dollars to deploy a thousand 
square meters. 

185
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,800
In the Pacific Ocean that will 
demonstrate that that's critical

186
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,800
scale at 1000 square meters, 
which is our funding Gap right 

187
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,500
now. 
And then we're looking to 

188
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:50,900
develop the commercial scale. 
Ha, that will be the basis for 

189
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:55,100
the family kelp forest farmer 
stretching from Australia, to 

190
00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:57,900
the states. 
And in fact, the subsistence 

191
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:02,400
seaweed farmer in Pins, there's 
a quarter million subsistence 

192
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,700
seaweed farmers, who are each 
allowed to farm, one hectare of 

193
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:09,400
tropical Red, Sea weeds and 
enable those to grow. 

194
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,600
And that we've developed a 
cash-flow positive economic 

195
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,800
model for that one. 
Ha and you know, each member of 

196
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,000
those families can can do a ha. 
And then once we get that 

197
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,600
working in the Philippines, 
there are two million 

198
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:24,400
subsistence seaweed farmers in 
Indonesia that need this 

199
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,300
technology. 
Because those folks, they're 

200
00:10:26,300 --> 00:10:28,300
living on the front lines of 
climate disruption. 

201
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:31,000
The waters too warm. 
The Nutrient levels are too low.

202
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:34,600
We are having to deal with this 
and fill those nutrient value 

203
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,800
chain gaps so that we can 
regenerate the productivity of 

204
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,900
the kelp forest and the seaweed 
farms and make sure that nature 

205
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,500
has what she needs to enable us 
to get back on track with our 

206
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:46,600
carbon balance. 
I believe this is the same 

207
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,300
technology. 
You brought up last time you're 

208
00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:51,600
on the show but it involves 
taking cooler water. 

209
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,800
That's deeper down and pumping 
it up to where the Farms 

210
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,400
actually are growing seaweed is 
that right? 

211
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:57,900
Yes. 
That's right. 

212
00:10:57,900 --> 00:11:01,300
We'll use in the tropics Marine.
Or energy in the higher 

213
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,200
latitudes. 
Like temperate zones, there's 

214
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,900
plenty of wave energy off the 
coast of the West Coast of the 

215
00:11:05,908 --> 00:11:08,800
US and across, you know, around 
the world in temperate 

216
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,000
latitudes. 
And I was just on the phone 

217
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,300
today to some of our colleagues 
and University of Tasmania who 

218
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:19,800
are looking at wave energy to 
enable the upwelling of water to

219
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,500
actually provide the irrigation 
that the kelp forest need. 

220
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,200
And that's exactly the kind of 
Technology we can use because 

221
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,600
it's local, use of energy, it's 
easy to harvest energy there. 

222
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:32,600
There's copious amounts of it 
and this is exactly what we need

223
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,200
in order to make those kelp 
forest Thrive off shore. 

224
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,100
So in this future where there is
family's farming, like I ha out 

225
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:42,300
in the Pacific right off the 
coast of California or whatever,

226
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:46,400
if that's a future lifestyle as 
possible, are they imitating 

227
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:47,600
permaculture? 
In the sense that there is 

228
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,500
multiple income streams that are
interacting, are they farming 

229
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:53,500
oysters and scallops at the 
bottom of these kelp forests? 

230
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:56,600
What is happening in between all
these various creatures in 

231
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,300
there? 
Well, near shore in The Harbours

232
00:12:00,300 --> 00:12:02,400
and Bay's. 
It's eutrophic enough. 

233
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,300
It has enough nutrients that the
kelp forest can have a 

234
00:12:05,300 --> 00:12:08,200
sustainable Harvest and you can 
have shellfish as well and 

235
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,600
they're eating the microalgae 
and some of the macroalgae. 

236
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,600
It turns out as you go further 
offshore, we're very 

237
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,300
enthusiastic about having a 
sustainable seaweed Harvest and 

238
00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:20,500
a sustainable fish Harvest. 
You know, each morning, I love 

239
00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:23,600
to eat celery and sardines 
because that's a great 

240
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,700
combination of one of my 
favorites, but we plan to grow a

241
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:29,100
trillion. 
Instead of going to regenerate 

242
00:12:29,100 --> 00:12:32,600
the base of the food web for the
entire oceans and getting those 

243
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,100
sardines back, it's all about 
build it and they will come. 

244
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:40,300
Because if we build the kelp 
forest we create enough fish 

245
00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:44,700
habitat that those sardines will
live in the kelp forest be 

246
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:47,700
protected by the habitat of the 
kelp forest and then we'll grow 

247
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:50,400
to such populations that. 
They'll start spilling out of 

248
00:12:50,408 --> 00:12:53,200
the kelp forest and the game 
Fish, and the apex, predators 

249
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,500
will get involved, and we'll 
have this thriving kelp forest 

250
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,900
protection. 
Around which the sardines will 

251
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:02,900
grow and grow. 
And so this is really the key is

252
00:13:02,900 --> 00:13:05,000
the sardines. 
Anchovies, the small, salmon 

253
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000
heads. 
These are the forage fish that 

254
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,300
will regenerate life in the 
ocean. 

255
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,400
I love it. 
And I also love eating sardines 

256
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,700
and I have to try it with 
celery. 

257
00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:17,800
It's a very I can imagine that 
tastes combo seems very good to 

258
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,000
me. 
Is the problem here, Finance or 

259
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,900
property rights or is it 
something more biological in the

260
00:13:24,908 --> 00:13:26,900
sense that it's temperature or 
biochemical? 

261
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:29,200
I should say? 
What is the reason? 

262
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,400
This doesn't already exist. 
What's blocking it today? 

263
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:34,500
Well, they're two gaps. 
We have to address, we have to 

264
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:37,000
address nutrient, value chain 
gaps in the ocean. 

265
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,100
When the appalling fails, when 
we get the big warm blob coming 

266
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:42,800
down from Alaska. 
When we get the next El Nino, 

267
00:13:42,900 --> 00:13:46,300
these increasingly frequent 
climate disruptions disrupt. 

268
00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:48,900
The nutrient value chain that 
the kelp forest needs in order 

269
00:13:48,900 --> 00:13:51,100
to thrive the nitrate. 
The phosphate the 

270
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:53,600
micronutrients, that's all from 
upwelling water. 

271
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,200
We've got to ensure that we can 
keep that up. 

272
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,000
Well and going now, Now the 
second Gap is capital formation 

273
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,100
Gap, right now. 
It costs a million bucks to do, 

274
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:06,000
you know a fraction of a hectare
and probably, our first ha will 

275
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,200
be two or three million but the 
benefits are we could be looking

276
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,900
at a million dollar Revenue 
stream when we get this right 

277
00:14:11,900 --> 00:14:14,700
and get it cost reduced. 
So that's really the chance that

278
00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:17,700
the opportunity is to cover that
initial development funding 

279
00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:21,100
develop the technology license. 
It broadly through our marine 

280
00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:24,400
permaculture Alliance and really
build a Global Network of folks 

281
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,200
that want to go and build. 
Those ha sighs farms and make 

282
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,500
them Work. 
We're developing food feed, and 

283
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:32,200
fertilizer markets that are 
going to enable this industry to

284
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,500
thrive and that'll fill the 
economic value chain Gap. 

285
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:38,300
That will help people do good 
while doing well, and I think 

286
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:40,500
it's building an entire Army of 
these. 

287
00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:43,400
That really is a key. 
Now, on the regulatory side 

288
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,000
today, if you tried to do an 
acre, a kelp on the coast of 

289
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,400
California, you'd be dealing 
with 17, state and federal local

290
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,300
agencies, and against federal 
agencies to try to get a permit,

291
00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:57,000
and it could take decades, which
is really a long time. 

292
00:14:57,100 --> 00:15:00,000
But ultimately, Ultimately we're
looking at developing a new 

293
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,900
model and that is we register 
with the US Coast Guard Armory 

294
00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:06,800
in permaculture vessel which is 
a barge, it's a ship that's 

295
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,000
allowed 500 years of admiralty 
law and that precedent of 500 

296
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,100
years of admiralty law is an 
incredible. 

297
00:15:13,100 --> 00:15:17,200
President to say this is a ship,
it's allowed safe passage and 

298
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,300
the safe passage means that we 
register with the Coast Guard 

299
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,500
and we're allowed to sail. 
The seven seas were allowed to 

300
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:26,400
it, has some biofouling on it, 
it's got a bit more biofouling, 

301
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,000
the next ship. 
Qualitatively, it is exactly 

302
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000
identical to the ships that 
sail, the seven seas and these 

303
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Marine permaculture vessels, 
vastly simplify the permission 

304
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,500
that's needed. 
Basically a coast guard 

305
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:42,700
registration of a marine Vessel 
to operate a c and so those are 

306
00:15:42,700 --> 00:15:45,600
the Regulatory and capital 
barriers that ultimately can 

307
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,900
address the nutrient value chain
gaps that are happening due to 

308
00:15:48,900 --> 00:15:51,400
climate disruption. 
All of those are interesting to 

309
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,400
me. 
Do you have to fly a flag? 

310
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,500
I know, plenty of vessels 
register in Liberia, and fly 

311
00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:58,000
Liberian flag. 
I'm sure there's other 

312
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,600
jurisdictions that are friendly 
for things like this. 

313
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,000
Are you having to fly an 
American flag or register here 

314
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,100
or some other combination? 
How does that work? 

315
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,200
Well, we're in favor of working 
locally and thinking globally. 

316
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,200
And so I think whenever possible
use a local jurisdiction, the 

317
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,600
intent of marine permaculture is
to enable local and Regional 

318
00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:21,600
thriving seaweed for us and 
Industry and Fin fish as well as

319
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,400
occasionally the shellfish. 
So I think whenever we can work 

320
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,200
locally we do, we have Many 
countries like the Philippines, 

321
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,300
we were able to get a permit to 
do the upwelling Marine 

322
00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:35,200
permaculture system in eight 
weeks, you know? 

323
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,400
So it's just, we go to the right
countries and it works really, 

324
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,900
really well as the industry 
grows, we'll see, increasing 

325
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:46,600
pressure to enable these 
regenerative Technologies to be 

326
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,700
accelerated because this is the 
change that the earth needs. 

327
00:16:49,700 --> 00:16:52,000
And this is what we need to do, 
to restore overturning 

328
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
circulation. 
You know, the Permian mass 

329
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,300
extinction happened, because the
ocean stratified and there's 

330
00:16:57,500 --> 00:17:00,000
More and more peer-reviewed 
literature coming out on this. 

331
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:02,900
And so what we're doing with 
Marine permaculture is really 

332
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:06,400
staving off the Permian mass 
extinction, one kelp forest at a

333
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,400
time and we're doing it in an 
economically sustainable way. 

334
00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:12,099
This is our chance to do good 
while doing well. 

335
00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:15,099
And this is the change of the 
earth needs on a time scale that

336
00:17:15,099 --> 00:17:17,500
the earth needs and that's why 
we're working so hard on it. 

337
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,700
Wow. 
Well you're talking about doing 

338
00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:24,400
good while doing well, are you 
also working with a non-profit 

339
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,200
mentality to it? 
Seems like there are grants 

340
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,500
being issued and In 
crowdfunding, but it seems like 

341
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:32,400
maybe the intention longer term 
is to license and be a 

342
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,600
for-profit entity. 
What's the relationship between 

343
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,000
these different Financial 
models? 

344
00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:38,800
Well it's really a hybrid, I 
mean the research that we're 

345
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,800
doing now enables tax deductible
contributions in year, zero to 

346
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,700
The Climate foundation in the 
u.s. our counterparts in 

347
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:50,800
Australia, Canada and the UK. 
So most of the Commonwealth 

348
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:55,000
Nations these days we can enable
this tax deductible Rd to occur.

349
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,300
Now, hybrid is needed and so 
weird. 

350
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,700
In the process of developing a 
marine permaculture alliance 

351
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,600
with our for-profit partners, 
see commentator who are based in

352
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,000
San Francisco and are working to
valorize excess seaweed in the 

353
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,900
Caribbean area and ultimately 
build the capital that will need

354
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:14,600
to go beyond a hectare of marine
permaculture towards dozens of 

355
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,500
ha and even 100 hectares that 
can be done very far offshore. 

356
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,100
So there's a real opportunity to
build an industry here, and our 

357
00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:25,300
vision for the Marine 
permaculture Alliance is a broad

358
00:18:25,300 --> 00:18:27,600
licensing program, where we've 
got reason All the 

359
00:18:27,608 --> 00:18:30,300
non-discriminatory licensing and
the improvements in the 

360
00:18:30,300 --> 00:18:34,600
technology are copyleft back 
into the Marine permaculture 

361
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,600
Alliance. 
So we can accelerate the 

362
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,200
dissemination of improvements 
and intellectual property across

363
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,700
the industry and enable rapid 
adoption that the earth needs to

364
00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:46,800
really scale this on a global 
scale and literally we have 

365
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,000
Marine permaculture 
architecture. 

366
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,500
That works from the equator to 
the Arctic. 

367
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:55,500
So any open ocean area can be 
amenable to this kind of seaweed

368
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:58,900
development and kelp forest. 
Generation and it's really the 

369
00:18:58,900 --> 00:19:02,400
time is right to demonstrate 
this at scale to build the 

370
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,800
capacity to show it works cost 
reduce it and build the Marine 

371
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,800
permaculture industry on a broad
basis. 

372
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,800
So it's really a hybrid that 
starts with the nonprofit 

373
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,900
development and moves into 
launching an industry that can 

374
00:19:13,900 --> 00:19:16,900
generate jobs. 
Ensure sustainable livelihoods 

375
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,900
and enable us to measure the 
carbon drawdown that we're going

376
00:19:19,900 --> 00:19:24,400
to need in the years ahead to 
really balance our civilization.

377
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,300
Wow. 
That is really, really exciting.

378
00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:29,900
Amazing. 
We're so happy to have 

379
00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:33,400
volunteers around the world 
helping us to build capacity. 

380
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:36,400
And I think there's a huge 
opportunity that we can vote 

381
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,200
with our feet in terms of the 
work that we're doing the 

382
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,100
projects were working on. 
And furthermore, you know, when 

383
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:45,600
we can't vote with our feet to 
vote with our dollars, we're 

384
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,900
doing a regular fundraiser. 
We hope to raise a million 

385
00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:51,500
dollars to do the thousand 
square meters and whether it's 

386
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:55,300
time or money or other resources
that's really a chance to spread

387
00:19:55,300 --> 00:19:58,700
the word to get this out and 
really I helped launch these 

388
00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:01,400
critical Grassroots industries 
that are going to be the change 

389
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,900
that the earth needs in order to
regenerate life in the ocean and

390
00:20:04,900 --> 00:20:07,500
ensure we've got an earth worth 
saving. 

391
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:10,600
And the years ahead, that's got 
a biodiversity in the Seas. 

392
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,200
Biodiversity in the soils. 
And that's the key to keeping 

393
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,300
our own civilization productive 
and alive and well fed. 

394
00:20:16,700 --> 00:20:18,800
Yeah. 
Well said, what is your current 

395
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,300
thinking on the I know you call 
it carbon export or carbon 

396
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:24,500
removal or however you want to 
frame it. 

397
00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:27,300
What do you think the potential 
is for marine permaculture? 

398
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,800
It's huge. 
You know, we just got this great

399
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,700
coverage last week in an op-ed 
in the Washington Post, and it's

400
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:36,800
it was done by Sir David King 
who really helped launch the 

401
00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:41,900
and, and seal the deal on the 
Paris agreement years ago into 

402
00:20:41,900 --> 00:20:44,900
2015. 
And so the opportunity now. 

403
00:20:44,900 --> 00:20:48,600
And so David wrote, very 
eloquently about how the 

404
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,700
director of capture technologies
will get us to a certain point 

405
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:56,100
in terms of cost performance, it
raises attention and awareness 

406
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,600
and then sir, David went on to 
talk about Brent constants and 

407
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,300
the blue planet initiative to 
actually build aggregate. 

408
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:07,300
That's made out of calcium 
carbonate and effectively turns 

409
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:11,200
grains of sand into gravel. 
That you can put into roadways 

410
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,800
and two airports into every 
concrete building you can 

411
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,400
imagine and effectively freeze 
out and sequester the carbon for

412
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,000
a long time and that's a very 
sustainable industry at several 

413
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,300
Giga tons. 
And it's one that I just did a 

414
00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:27,200
lecture on a sovereign yesterday
on our Stanford. 

415
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,200
Or and Leslie Fields course on 
engineering and climate change. 

416
00:21:31,300 --> 00:21:34,000
And I think that's a great 
opportunity as well. 

417
00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:37,700
Then sir, David King went on in 
this op-ed to talk about the 

418
00:21:37,700 --> 00:21:42,100
potential for Technologies like 
Marine permaculture to 

419
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,500
effectively you know Feed the 
World regenerate life in the 

420
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:49,600
oceans and draw down carbon and 
amazingly effective prices. 

421
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,700
We're talking about, we like to 
say the first Giga tons on us 

422
00:21:53,700 --> 00:21:56,900
because as we grow food feed and
fertilizer, we're going to be 

423
00:21:56,900 --> 00:21:59,700
fixing Carbon and measuring that
carbon export. 

424
00:21:59,700 --> 00:22:02,900
And effectively, we can do it at
a negative cost of carbon on the

425
00:22:02,900 --> 00:22:05,700
first gigaton. 
Once we're past that, even if we

426
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:09,700
need to fix more to restore a 
healthy climate will be able to 

427
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:12,600
do. 
So at really amazing cost 

428
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,900
points, you know, hopefully, 
well below a hundred dollars per

429
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:20,000
ton and that means at a cost of 
$80 per ton or less that we've 

430
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,400
got a very sustainable approach 
to enabling the Earth to be 

431
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,100
healthy to ensure. 
We've got the food security to 

432
00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:30,000
ensure Have political stability 
around the world for years to 

433
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,600
come and and that we can 
actually draw down potentially 

434
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,200
gigatons of carbon as we develop
this sustainable industry around

435
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,800
the world in a distributed way. 
Well, if someone's listening and

436
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,100
they want to keep up with, what 
you're doing in your progress, 

437
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:46,500
where might you direct them? 
I would direct them to our 

438
00:22:46,500 --> 00:22:49,200
client Foundation website. 
We've got updates that occur 

439
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,500
regularly with our newsletters. 
We have an ongoing crowdfunder 

440
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:55,300
there, we're really interested 
in building capacity and 

441
00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:57,400
building a network with a marine
permaculture. 

442
00:22:57,500 --> 00:23:00,700
Ants that will enable the whole 
world to benefit from ring 

443
00:23:00,700 --> 00:23:03,300
permaculture technology and 
ensure we've got the food 

444
00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:07,200
security to ensure that we can 
have our civilization continued 

445
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,500
in a healthy way even during 
times of marine heat waves and 

446
00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:13,200
climate disruption. 
So we're really looking forward 

447
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,300
to that, we've got an info 
Channel there, they can email us

448
00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:18,100
at info at climate 
foundation.org. 

449
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,500
And we're looking forward to 
really building capacity to 

450
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:25,000
ensure that the ocean has what 
she needs to regenerate life to 

451
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,400
staying healthy and to 
ultimately help. 

452
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,500
Humans balance their carbon 
budget. 

453
00:23:31,100 --> 00:23:33,400
Great. 
And also you should watch 2040 

454
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,400
and you can see Brian being a 
sailor man. 

455
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,600
Living that Life. 
Aquatic us just being jealous. 

456
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,800
Watching you out there Brian 
seems like you're having a lot 

457
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,600
of well we're looking forward to
having you come out. 

458
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,300
Ross. 
You know, there's nothing I love

459
00:23:44,300 --> 00:23:47,200
better than snorkeling on a 
marine permaculture. 

460
00:23:47,300 --> 00:23:50,400
Their millions of fish is 
beautiful kelp forest moving 

461
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,000
around and they're just, I've 
got to tell you Nature has voted

462
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,400
with her fins. 
You know, we've got on our 

463
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,400
marine permaculture. 
In Philippines, there are 

464
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,800
millions of sardines. 
There's these tuna fish, I just 

465
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,800
got off our phone with our team 
this morning and there's like 

466
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,900
hundreds of tuna fish, cruising 
around enjoying the abundance. 

467
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:14,200
That is on the, on the Marine 
permaculture, we've had a family

468
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,100
of dolphins, spend more than a 
month with us hanging out. 

469
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:20,200
We've got some videos of these 
Dolphins frolicking and jumping 

470
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,000
into the air, and even this 
whale shark swam, 200 kilometers

471
00:24:24,100 --> 00:24:27,000
to hang out with us for three 
days and eat some of the bounty 

472
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
thats coming. 
An author Marine permaculture. 

473
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,800
So nature is voting with her 
fins, that's got to be the 

474
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,000
greatest validation and being 
able to see that up close, if 

475
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,000
you actually go snorkeling and 
check this wonderful island of 

476
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,600
life, living in the deep ocean. 
It's just so heartwarming 

477
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,500
experience. 
I look forward to sharing that 

478
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,200
with so many of your listeners 
and with you because you know 

479
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,000
it's really a chance to witness 
upfront and close and personal 

480
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,800
the the way that we're able to 
regenerate life in the ocean 

481
00:24:54,700 --> 00:24:57,700
What kind of potential you think
there is for ocean 

482
00:24:57,700 --> 00:24:59,400
entrepreneurship, for lack of a 
better term? 

483
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,000
I'm sure there's people 
listening who are looking for 

484
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,100
their next step and a lot of 
people are looking at climate 

485
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:05,900
Tech right now but I don't see 
the ocean getting a lot of love.

486
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,500
Where should they be looking? 
Well, it's early days, but I 

487
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:12,200
think having that Marine 
engineering experience, getting 

488
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,000
in the ocean, going snorkeling 
or swimming or surfing, that's 

489
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,500
the kind of hands and feet in 
the water that are really 

490
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:20,400
important. 
And so I think building that 

491
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,200
comfort with the oceans is 
great. 

492
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,400
And as people see Seems like 
2040. 

493
00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:29,900
Inevitably, you know, we fall in
love with the ocean, with the 

494
00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:34,200
kelp forest with charismatic 
megafauna that lived there like 

495
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,500
the Leafy Sea Dragon. 
And the, you know, the wonderful

496
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,700
lobsters and there was this 
octopus film that we just saw my

497
00:25:42,700 --> 00:25:45,800
octopus teacher at it just like,
okay, I'm just going to fall in 

498
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,400
love with this ecosystem. 
That's what drives people to, to

499
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,400
be the change that the earth 
needs, and that's the kind of 

500
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,000
fulfilling Doing good while 
doing well that I think makes 

501
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,200
such a huge difference. 
And so I think it's that 

502
00:25:59,208 --> 00:26:00,900
connection to the ocean, that's 
really critical. 

503
00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:05,200
And as we build our capacity and
basically grow, this industry 

504
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,600
will have exponential 
opportunities. 

505
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,700
I think to, you know, to really 
enable these Marine careers to 

506
00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:14,800
take off Peter teal invested a 
bunch in in seasteading some 

507
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,500
years ago. 
And we'd like to say Marine 

508
00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:19,800
permaculture is the reason for 
seasteading to exist. 

509
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,700
In other words, this is the 
irrigated farming that Oils. 

510
00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:29,500
The communities on the sea to 
thrive and ultimately, it's all 

511
00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:32,500
about building. 
The tribe of abundance and 

512
00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:35,900
moving from the economics of 
scarcity, towards the tribe of 

513
00:26:35,900 --> 00:26:39,000
abundance, the where we have 
enough to share with ourselves 

514
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,100
and our neighbors, and that's a 
completely different mindset. 

515
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:46,000
It's a completely different 
world and it's really moving 

516
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,500
from Fear to love and that's 
what we'd love to see happen. 

517
00:26:49,500 --> 00:26:55,100
One kelp forest at a time. 
That's a lovely sense of Well, 

518
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:58,000
thanks for being here, Brian. 
My pleasure, Ross is great to 

519
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,500
talk with you and catch up again
is so great to be back on the 

520
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:04,100
Nori show and podcast and we're 
looking forward to working 

521
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:06,500
together towards building that 
regenerative future that we all 

522
00:27:06,500 --> 00:27:10,100
need absolutely definitely on 
the same team here and would be 

523
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:12,900
happy to have you back on when 
there's more progress. 

524
00:27:12,900 --> 00:27:15,900
It sounds like you have a lot of
irons in the fire so maybe won't

525
00:27:15,900 --> 00:27:19,300
be nearly so long. 
Next time, we're looking forward

526
00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:23,200
to bringing in regular reports 
on the Western Pacific hanging 

527
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,400
out here during the pandemic. 
Gemma canned bringing that 

528
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,300
technology across the Pacific as
soon as it's safe to do so. 

529
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,500
Terrific. 
Well let's do it again. 

530
00:27:30,500 --> 00:27:32,800
And thanks again.
