 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.
