Cinema at the Casa: The Ocean Solution Screening
January 18 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm PST
$50
On January 18, Cinema at the Casa will reach new depths to explore regenerative ocean farming happening off the coast of Santa Barbara in The Ocean Solution, directed by Darcy Hennessey.
Farming under the sea? Meet Bren Smith, the ocean farming pioneer whose vertical kelp and shellfish farms can transform the way food is produced. As a commercial fisherman, Bren’s career was nearly wrecked by the crashing cod stocks in the North Atlantic; he then turned to oyster farming, just in time for catastrophic, climate-driven storms to show him there wasn’t a solid future in that, either. Unwilling to tether himself to land, he took the hard lessons learned and returned to the sea with a new method of restorative ocean farming. What he discovered is a way to produce large quantities of nutritious food that also fights the climate crisis, cleans the ocean, creates aquatic habitat and sustains his sea-going way of life.
Admission is $50.
Space is limited. Reservations are required.
