In this episode, we speak to Marty about the urgency of the climate crisis and the role that ocean ecosystem restoration and carbon sequestration have to play in solving it. Having grown up around commercial fishing and received formal training as an engineer, Marty is combining his passion for our oceans with his technological know-how to build Running Tide, working to scale our ocean’s ability to sequester carbon, create more resilient shorelines, and provide nutritious food to our changing and ever-more populous planet. Kelp as a natural climate solution is still new, and largely untested and Marty speaks to both the opportunity and challenge of his work to test and drive this solution forward.

Topics covered in this episode:

- Marty’s personal journey

- How technology, data science, and automation play a role in oyster farming and kelp deployment

- Marty’s views on how tackling climate change is the “largest industrial effort in history”

- How kelp works as a form of carbon removal

- The science behind kelp sinking - what we know, what we don’t know
