A Swellcast about the life of an Ocean Farmer 🦪⚓️🌊

So if you want to share this swell cast with anyone outside of Swell that's interested in what we do, you can just share the hashtag ocean farmer life. Or of course, you can share my profile as well

Your work sounds really amazing being out there in the ocean and doing ocean farming. Mine, on the other hand, is super boring. I sit in front of a computer doing numbers. Anyway, I do like your swell cast and some of the oyster farming you're doing. I had a chance to go to Chesapeake Bay several years ago and and we went out into the bay and actually went for some oysters. Really fun

Hi, Jack. I'm so excited for this twelve series. I'm so intrigued by your job. I have so many questions to ask you. But I guess an angle that I'm really curious about is environmental impact and sustainability and sort of how that factors in the farming itself, but also in your business, the business part of it, if at all. I would love to hear as well on that

But I'm wondering what you do on the computer with numbers, because I'm really interested in the data science behind Aquaculture to kind of show the benefits that you're mentioning kind of in regards to replenishing the oysters. But. Yeah. Chesapeake Bay is beautiful. The whole Long Island area. Really?

I'm not going to share too many spoilers here, but my background is in business development and ocean conservation and corporate sustainability. So one of my goals for this farm has always been to have an overarching sustainable aspect. So not only the science of the oyster growing and how that helps the ocean, but also our business operations being carbon positive sorry, carbon negative. Not even carbon neutral, but carbon negative
