Marine Permaculture Arrays restore overturning circulation for kelp cultivation. Cultivating the kelp has numerous benefits, including increased marine habitats, pollution and runoff capture, and the kelp itself is a carbon sink.
Marine permaculture recreates the biological pump, enabling oceans to do the job they always have. Buoys attached to the MPAs rise and fall with the waves, powering very simple pumps that bring up colder waters from hundreds or even thousands of feet below sea level. As the nutrient-laden waters come to the sunlit surface, phytoplankton and kelp soak up the nutrients and grow.
Halcyon has negotiated with three countries, to allow us to implement and test our MPA technology from our Asian partners.
