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!Useful links:About Thierry Chopin Thierry's start up: Turquoise Revolution Learn about IMTASeaweed Beer introductionSupport the show (https://www.patron.com/lifeonplanetapodcast)Support the show
