 Featuring Film Clips from the 2016 National Bioneers Conference,  with a
focus on Ocean & Climate:

Have you ever been to a Bioneers Conference?  They are epic!  For 27 years
the place to be to learn about cutting edge ideas shared by Bioneers, the
innovators & visionaries of our time, who look deep into the heart of nature
for solutions for a better future.  Held annually in San Raphael, CA, we are
happy to bring a taste of the Bioneers experience home to our own
communities.

As California has one of the longest coastlines in the world, the backyard
for all our Central Coast communities, we focus on Ocean & Climate, and the
exciting idea of a Blue Green economy, that while providing food close to
home & creating sustainable livelihoods, helps restore the health of our
oceans & mitigates climate change.

Feature Film:  The Least Deadly Catch: Ocean Farming in the Climate Change
Era, with Bren Smith

With introductions by John Roulac of Nutiva; & Daniel Marquez of Pharmersea,
local Santa Barbara Ocean Farmer;

and updates from Community Environmental Council (CEC) about the SB County
Food Action Plan

Bren Smith, founder of GreenWave & winner of the 2015 Buckminster Fuller
Challenge award, became a commercial fisherman at age 14, but witnessed the
destruction of the ocean firsthand. In a quest for a better way, he
pioneered a revolutionary new model of harvesting bounty from the seas. He
describes his innovative, practical design and future vision for
"restorative 3-D ocean farming".  It restores ecosystems, mitigates climate
change, creates jobs in a blue-green economy, and ensures healthy, secure
local food for communities.

Come a little early for interesting event exhibitors prior to the event, &
stay a bit after for conversation with Daniel & Antoinette Marquez with
their local model of the Blue Green Economy, Pharmersea, a 25 acre sea farm
off the Ellwood Pier, in Goleta, CA, that provides the sustainably harvested
ingredients for AMA SeaBeauty skin products.
