by Bren Smith

Description
"Through tales that span from his childhood in Newfoundland to his early years on the high seas aboard commercial fishing trawlers, from pioneering new forms of ocean farming to surfing the frontiers of the food movement, Smith introduces the world of sea-based agriculture, and advocates getting ocean vegetables onto American plates (there are thousands of edible varieties in the sea!). Here he shows how we can transform our food system while enjoying delicious, nutritious, locally grown show more food, and how restorative ocean farming has the potential to create millions of new jobs and protect our planet in the face of climate change, rising populations, and finite food resources. Also included are recipes from acclaimed chefs Brooks Headley and David Santos. Written with the humor and swagger of a fisherman telling a late-night tale, this is a monumental work of deeply personal food policy that will profoundly change the way we think about what we eat."--Amazon.com. show lessTags

Part memoir, part progressive aquaculture. Both parts really interesting and well written. It would've been a really strong memoir if that was all it included.
Going into reading this book I was getting out of normal comfort zone, I don't usually read biographies. This one was interesting that he kept it so surreal. He was able to tell us information from a different location and talk about the difficulties. I will say that it was a nice read, but it seemed that I was going receive data.
I have learned so much about seaweed and aquaculture. Kind of want to start farming oysters and kelp now.
