In this episode of Voice of the Sea, we visit Kauaʻi Sea Farm, a one-of-a-kind restorative aquaculture operation, located on the southwest side of Kauaʻi-in the 20-acre, saltwater fishpond, Nomilo (Nōmilu) loko iʻa, which is owned and cared for by the Pālama family. We learn about their clam and limu (edible algae) aquaculture and their research to grow sea cucumbers-filter feeders that not only help clean the pond but also taste delicious-and can help provide products for sale at local restaurants!
We talk-story with production manager, Dave Anderson, aquaculture technician, Kalalena Lum Won, hatchery technician Tim Leichliter, as well as Pālama family member and Kauaʻi Sea Farm president, Lynn Taylor, and director of operations, Thayne Taylor.
