… a global network of regenerative ocean farmers

Could there be a seagrass or kelp project for Lyme Bay? There are already good examples of restoring kelp beds along the English Channel. And the interest and scope is growing.
GreenWave is a global network of regenerative ocean farmers – and this is their latest newsletter:
Ocean Farmers Unlock Grants with KCF, New Sea to Sale Series
Ocean Farmers Unlock Grants, Expand Farms with Kelp Climate Fund
Regenerative ocean farmers are leading the fight against climate change with the positive impacts of their farms, improving the health of our planet through blue carbon capture, nitrogen removal, and reef restoration. GreenWave started the Kelp Climate Fund program to pay kelp farmers for their climate impacts while markets for kelp and blue carbon continue to develop. Since its inception, the program has provided farmers with the resources to scale their farm infrastructure, protect against price fluctuations and extreme weather events, and measure the climate impact to build community buy-in for their farms.
This season, participating farmers are leveraging the Kelp Climate Fund to tap into regional funding opportunities.
