#62: Don't Put All Your Salmon Eggs in 1 Basket with Dr. Thierry Chopin

For March we're turning away from farming the land for a journey
out to sea to discuss aquaculture!! 

This week, Heidi and Bella spoke with Thierry
Chopin; presently Professor of Marine Biology at the
University of New Brunswick. Dr. Chopin’s research focuses on the
ecophysiology, biochemistry and cultivation of seaweeds of
commercial value and the development of Integrated Multi-Trophic
Aquaculture (IMTA) systems for environmental and economic
sustainability.



Thierry focuses his research on IMTA and spends his time working
for his start up Turquoise Revolution.  IMTA  is a
practice in which the by-products (wastes) from one species are
recycled to become inputs (fertilizers, food) for
another. 

We also learn about how Thierry is brewing his own seaweed
beer!
