URBAN OCEAN STEWARDSHIP : KELP CULTIVATION IN NYC

RETI Center

New York Harbor is becoming an experimental site for ecological restoration - the latest trend is  growing seaweed.

Pratt Institute Research Yard

Kelp has grabbed the attention of sustainability and restoration efforts from around the world due to its many climate benefits coupled with low-impact cultivation compared to other agriculture and aquaculture ventures. This half-day conference will open up a conversation and dialogue with experts and practitioners from the field: growers in NY Harbor, scientists, and environmental justice advocates. We’ll hear answers to questions such as: How can we use the kelp we grow in and around New York Harbor? What impacts can kelp have on water quality, carbon, community, and biodiversity? What limitations and opportunities are growers experiencing? What does it take to start a kelp operation in your community?Themed table discussions with each of the speakers will be held during the working lunch.If you&#x27;re interested in being an event sponsor, please contact us directly at admin@reticenter.org.
