the open ocean is one of the most
pristine environments on the planet the
water is clean it’s not impacted by
land-based activities so it results in a
very clean fish i’m bryan O’Hanlon the
founder of open blue sea farms were the
largest open ocean farm in the world
part of the idea of open ocean farming
is that you can move the farms closer to
major infrastructure and major markets
there’s a number of reasons why we came
to Panama transportation infrastructure
is unmatched to the Panama Canal is a
backbone for this economy here so it
allows us to bring in raw materials very
efficiently and export finished products
to the markets for about seven and a
half eight miles out in the ocean it
literally almost looks like farmland
where you have these these large mooring
grid structures which run literally a
kilometre from end to end and with the
different ends growing fishing inside
its unique site because our probably no
place in the world where farms are
located over the horizon and completely
open environment it’s almost like a
thriving little town out there boats
moving around different activities going
on right now we can harvest it up about
20 to 25 tons in a 1:1 harvest still
kind of labor-intensive but we’re
working right now on trying to
streamline and
look screwed
we’re kind of inventing this stuff as we
go a great thing about farming in the
oceans three-dimensional unlike farming
crops on land you know where you have
two-dimensional farming we’re not only
going on a two-dimensional plane but
we’re going deep so you can imagine the
potential for productivity in the oceans
just far exceeds what we can go on land
to think opening up the three oceans to
new farming frontiers if you want to
call it for me
fish is really the first step we had the
opportunity to work with cobia and it
was it was pretty incredible to see the
cobia just you know literally grow
before your eyes I mean from morning to
evening you could see growth in the fish
we’re really just at the tip of the
spear with look wherever you think we
can go with cobia you know we do expect
to diversify geographically with cobia
in the future I view the open ocean as
this huge opportunity in the future in
the coming decades you know and it’s
it’s not going to be a matter of years
it’s going to be a matter of decades
that we open up the oceans and we farm
the oceans as we farm the land
