Russia’s largest catch of salmon in history is happening now, this 300-400 million salmon miracle is explained Last spring Mother Nature sent towering clouds of rich volcanic ash into the North Pacific Ocean as Russian volcano Bezymianny erupted. The salmon are proof that ocean restoration with natural dust simply works and the EU has just enacted €8.3 Billion per year to restore our Seas and Trees. Bezymianny Volcano was an eruption last spring that delivered the most wonderful of dusty miracles. Sending vast clouds of ash which reached an altitude of 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) and traveled ea ..read more

Reporting from COP27 in the hot desert of Sharm El Sheik Egypt IMF champion calls for someone, everyone, needs to speak for ocean life More important, than talking is actually deploying the ocean restoration action that will save our oceans Time is so short At a fantastic Round Table workshop organized by Oceanic Global on Friday, a side event to COP27 held in the palatial Sharma El Sheik Park Regency Hotel, top UNFCCC officials commented in a matter-of-fact fashion that oceans have never been part of their efforts but that this hour-long round table discussion they were hosting with a dozen o ..read more

We miscalculated our climate tipping points: This decade is critical New Ocean Restoration Research And Development Act 2022 is a great step forward America has invested billions in the study of ocean pastures over the past 50 years. It is time to apply this wisdom to save and restore our oceans immediately, before it is too late! A recent OP-ED in ‘The Hill’ We miscalculated our climate tipping points: This decade is critical is a good one as it covers some many bases in this dire context of climate change. I am surprised that it did not feature the primary location of the worst ill ..read more

To speak on behalf of the bee in my bonnet before we finish killing off all the bees. Let’s address some social media blather proposing the willy nilly chlorination of the global air for the purpose of methane reduction… The idea is we spew endless amounts of chemicals into the air that break down with sunlight releasing active chlorine that chemically destroys high and rising methane, a terrible greenhouse gas. Keep in mind the question of the apocolyptic impact on vital and healthy natural phytoncides. Phytoncides, volatile chemicals produced by all green plants are what you smell when you c ..read more

In Scotland 25,000 COP26 people are speaking ‘Bureaucratise’ about climate change They might as well be speaking Glaswegian A few are talking about the real proven immediate solution that is OPR Bringing Back The Fish This UN Session started It starts with a pillar of the New Paradigm: Climate Restoration, whose credo is “we will restore our climate all the way back to a state that allows us to flourish, not merely limit the damage.” And the backbone of that credo are actions that result in a return to a safe amount of CO2 parts per million (ppm) in the atmosphere. When we achieve under 300 pp ..read more

Two Decades of Data Show That Earth Is ‘Dimming’ Earth’s dimming reflection means less sunlight and heat is reflected back into space We can immediately bring back the rain by restoring California’s ocean pastures! In a paper just published in the acclaimed Geophysical Research Letters (01 October 2021) researchers have reported on the astonishing dimming of our Blue Planet. The oceans are clearly the source of the dimming crisis as they are producing fewer bright marine clouds. Such marine clouds are responsible for reflecting sunlight back into space, but now as the clouds have been seen to ..read more

Shippers and skippers call for global carbon tax to fund effective means to mitigate climate change 90% of global fleet agree work reduce their carbon footprint is overdue The most immediate and effective means to accomplish this goal is for the fleet to engage in ocean pasture restoration. A fraction of 1/100th of 1% of the industry transit time devoted to Nature-Based OPR will replenish and restore oceans repurposing a substantial fraction of the industry carbon emissions into restored ocean life. “A global solution is the only one that’s going to work”, Guy Platten, secretary-general of the ..read more

Time flies while having fun. Or trying to save the world! Working to Bringing Back The Fish Back in 2002 I entertained some BBC radio producers on my sailing ship on the coast of California to give an interview about how ocean pasture restoration with natural rock dust might replenish and restore the world’s ocean pastures and Bring Back The Fish.  It has taken me most of a lifetime of working on this methodology and trying to convince the world we must become Good Shepherds of our ocean pastures before it is too late. Sadly there is an endless supply of armchair pundit narcissists always ..read more

Are all terran scientists hammers, seeing everything is a nail Climate Change gravy trains filled to overflowing with climate engineering business plans But Nature has the best of ideas for how to care for her ‘blue planet’, restore her ocean pastures! Healthy natural environments including ocean pastures have almost unlimited capacity to oxidize methane There is a contingent of people concerned about climate change to whom methane is the boogeyman, baba yaga, gurumapa. They will point out that methane is a greenhouse gas with 25-84 times the ‘global warming’ potency as CO2. Their focus on ‘gl ..read more

New Genomics Paper proves overfishing Atlantic Cod not the key problem Declining size of Cod is shown to be simply due to the collapse of their ocean feeding pastures Overfishing has surely been terrible for the cod, but far far worse has been the collapse of their food, the ocean plankton. Fishing moratoriums are proven ineffective in Bringing Back The Fish, only restoration of their ocean pastures can help them In a new study, which focuses on Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) off Newfoundland in Canada and off Norway, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Overf ..read more
