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.
