Guess who’s in NOAA’s neck of the woods? For Earth Week, Al Roker and the Today Show traveled from California to Connecticut to learn about aquaculture as a climate solution. 

The United States imports 75–80 percent of the seafood we eat, and those seafood sources are being impacted by climate change. Aquaculture is a local, sustainable option that doesn’t use much fresh water, fish food, take up much space, or emit greenhouse gasses the way traditional farming can. Eating farmed seafood is good for you, good for the economy, and good for the planet! 

“In a changing climate, we need to consider the environmental impacts of what we eat,” said Danielle Blacklock, director of NOAA Fisheries Office of Aquaculture. “Adding more seafood to your diet is a climate-smart, earth-friendly choice, especially if it’s grown here in the United States.” 

To showcase the diversity of the United State’s aquaculture industry, Al Roker and his team visited aquaculture efforts in California and Connecticut. They met NOAA, Sea Grant, and farmers from the Port of San Diego and Copps Island Oysters. In San Diego, Roker learned about abalone and how aquaculture can grow as part of the Blue Economy. 

In Connecticut, Roker boarded a NOAA Milford Research vessel to visit Copps Island Oysters—the largest oyster operation on the East Coast. It also farms sugar kelp for a line of skincare products. He interviewed Sea Grant seaweed expert Anoushka Concepcion and met with Danielle Blacklock. He also chatted with the Bloom Family about Copps Island Oysters and their seaweed business. 

In the face of climate change, the ocean can be a source of climate adaptation and mitigation solutions. They provide benefits like good-paying jobs, sustainable livelihoods and communities, and healthier ocean ecosystems. From abalone restoration to oyster and seaweed farming, aquaculture is an ocean-based climate solution.

Back in quieter times; before a realm reborn, before the liberation of Doma and Gyr Abania, and before the End of Days, there was Nymexia and M'khett and the streets of Limsa Lominsa.

Aiming for an earlier look at Nym's life before being called to become the WoL. Khett has been there with her from the beginning.

A day at the aqua fish farm ponds

Inland aquafarms is one of the better entrepeneural efforts to use the land and water resources in Cambodia. The goal is to extend access to food and quality farmed produce.

Classic khmer food resource

Fish and seafood are the main sources of animal protein in khmer cuisine. Access to an everlasting supply fish, crayfish and shellfish was traditionally via the waterways like Mekong river complex, and the Tonle Sap lake and river basin.

The Tonle Sap are among the richest sources for water based protein and other nutrients in the world.

A source for an empire

But with regional pressure and increasingly utilisation of these resources, modern technology and aquafarming is a way of keeping the flow of traditional food and nutrients at an acceptable level.

The nutritional benefits of eating a lot of fish and crayfish/shellfish is wellknown for health and intelligence. And there should be no surprises in a nation fed by healthy food should be able to build an empire or cultural heritage monuments for the ages.

So there are good reasons for simply enjoying cambodian food. And drinks.

Merry, an outgoing Reef mer.

They're currently joining Tide on his journey to make amends with the mer communities and humans!

You can find their beginning story here (keep in mind the art and designs are old! And it was never intented to turn into a story so yep, on the go story telling)

Age: 26 years

World: Jordh

Timeperiod: Early 1900's

Personality: Cheerful, diplomatic and hard-working, they're very caring of others and open-minded. They often take on more work than they can handle, not wanting others to be burdened.

Family: A travelling mother and father that visits regularly and an older sister who lives in a different community with her family.

Background: Merry was born and raised in a small coastal community. When Merry came of age, their parents decided to leave the community, wanting to travel the seas. This was fine with Merry, they keep busy and have many friends. One of the Elders also look after them, offering them guidance when needed or a friendly chat.

Other notes:

Reef mers are skilled aquafarmers and they grow a large variation of sea greens (kelp, seagrass and seaweed). Sea creatures like oysters, mussels, sea urchins and crustaceans are also part of their diet.

Merry's fluent in the local human language. They often join the trips to the coastal towns to trade goods. They also like to interact with humans to exchange news and stories.

Submitted via Google Form: Follow Up - Sea Level Rise

Soo, hi!! I sent in an ask about sea level rise and loss of land but apparently it was too vague. I've been thinking about that for quite a bit and this is what I've come up with.

The main resources are definitely ocean-based and the main industry is very much aquafarming and their main industry and what they have for trade. Should I consider more things like offshore oil drills or deep sea mining? There are some food farms on land, but very much utilises vertical farming and thus do not need soil from the ground. There's also a lot of sea birds that can be food too.

As for buildings and things, well, perhaps I might tell you what my first inspiration for this setting was. Images of a flooded Venice with boats where land is supposed to be creating extra waterways, so I then thought, what if a place went underwater due to gradual sea level rise and eventually became the norm rather than a sudden flood disaster. Except I decided to go with a country full of islands and atolls. 80% of the country is also urban.

Then I got real life sea level rise data and found that in the last 20 years it went up 2 inches. So if my fictional world it's been at least 2000 years since then it would have risen 200 inches, which would be 50 metres - definitely enough to put several floors underwater. I'm not sure I'll have it that high though. Anyway, I'm sure, during the 2000 years, the oldest buildings might not be there anymore and everything else having been built will take into consideration the rising sea levels, including adding landfill? Though landfill can also help with expanding territory for new population as well.

One of your concerns was it being more plausible that the place would be abandoned when the land is underwater. Well, it's definitely a gradual loss of land and they've been adapting for over 2000 years. It isn't a sudden loss of land, why would one generation/government suddenly decide to abandon everything and leave everything they've been adapting slowly over the years. Also, it's their country. Where are they going to go, especially if they are in the middle of the ocean somewhere, with nothing else around?

Tex: I suppose if you’re going the vein of aquafarming, then perhaps you could also utilize floating structures for residential, commercial, and recreational areas? Land reclamation (Wikipedia) might help a little bit with that, but one issue is with what material would they be using, and another would be whether that has a significant enough impact on the environment to stop it from flooding and becoming underwater.

One thing that pops into mind about creating floating sections for agriculture is how that would impact the life underneath in the water - algal blooms (Wikipedia) can be beneficial or detrimental, depending on the context, and farming will inevitably add a new factor to the homeostasis of the water. What they’re farming and how they’re doing it will decide what situations will arise from it.

Vertical farming (Wikipedia) is certainly an idea, and I think you could probably angle it so that some of the necessary moisture for the plants is drawn from the ocean to add an additional dimension of self-sustainability.

I’m uncertain how you intend the underwater structures, though - are these still lived in? Are they relics? How would a contemporary population interact with them, if they’re accessible at all?

Wootzel: I noticed you mentioned that you found data for 2 inches of rise over 20 years and extrapolated. That sea level rise is due to melting polar ice, and if you want it to continue at that rate, you’ll need to also consider the impacts of massive climate change. You said that your setting isn’t Earth, but I assume it’s similar, so you could potentially take a lot of climate change predictions from our planet in order to inform your worldbuilding. 

Since 200 ft of sea rise would necessitate melting almost all of the ice caps on Earth, you may want to look to other causes in order to get that amount of change relative to your country, since this kind of sea level rise would be caused by massive global warming, which has a host of other effects on the environment. Land subsidence is a reasonable alternative, or depending on the sizes of the islands, you could just blame it on erosion! If there are no natural forces making the islands bigger (such as convergent tectonic plates or an active volcano), wind and rain could easily chip away at them over a period of 2000 years. This might not be enough time by itself for the islands to erode, but if they are mainly softer material (without rocky peaks) and you also throw in some sea level rise, you could definitely see the amount of usable land slipping away into the sea. 

As far as why they would or wouldn’t leave… Many probably wouldn’t! Or at least, they’d hold out as long as possible. However, losing usable land would probably put the population in a tricky place as far as sustaining themselves. If the population is mostly urban and they focus retaining land in high population areas, they’re going to run out of room to grow food unless they’re wildly successful in retaining all their land. People can only get so much of their nutrition from the sea, (assuming your population is human,) and shipping food across a vast stretch of ocean is difficult and expensive. If the resources and industries they have available are significantly valuable to the outside world, maybe they can generate enough income from trade or tourism to allow most of the population to live comfortably even if their necessities are costly. However, if their income doesn’t easily balance the costs, and/or if some members of this society are profiting but the average person doesn’t have it that great… there’s incentive to leave and seek a better life elsewhere. Whether they are able is another question, but the conditions could easily be created for a shrinking population. Depending on how much room your plot has in it, this could help drive some amount of the story events or even just be something you can mention as happening in the background, to make the place feel more alive and like it has history and evolution. If you’re totally uninterested in including this situation,
