IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0In 2014, Climate Foundation also researched and designed a new type of marine permaculture system. This work was presented to NOAA, National Marine Fisheries Service, Marine Biological Laboratory, Director of Aquaculture and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, among others. This technology promises to restore fish populations and national fisheries. We plan to measure its carbon balance effects as well.
