A complete ecosystem recycling wastes into increased seafood production, while cleaning up pollution and restoring the natural environment.
Karina,
Engineers have blind spots? (Just kidding. My family calls me the tactless one for a reason.)
Would you be so kind as to join the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development? Even better, edit our draft living document "Concepts for the UN Decade..." or our draft "Restoring 300 ppm CO2 while achieving Sustainable Development Goals"?
Tangential topic - I would like to see a picture with a few O- blood donors and many who received the O- blood when they were premature babies. O- is the universal donor. Premature babies don't need to have their blood type checked before receiving O- blood. Each 500ml donation is spread into four bags of 125ml each. The ideal picture has lots of people diversity. Ironic because the point of the picture is that people are people. Blood really is thicker whatever. Maybe OpenIDEO can run a contest for the best picture and caption.
Dear Charles Darwin Foundation,
Congratulations on being the only ocean-based entry to make the top 79. Your Systems Approach write-up does look to be the best of the bunch.
As you refine, feel free to lift information and concepts from our entry: Total Ecosystem Aquaculture (Oceania, Fiji) https://challenges.openideo.com/challenge/food-system-vision-prize/open-submission/restorative-aquaculture-sustainable-seafood-production-for-the-world and/or connect with the other ocean-based entries listed below. If you find it helpful, include us in your list of stakeholders. We, OceanForesters, will not ask for a share of the prize money that we hope you win.
We are mentioning your entry in a document we are preparing for the UN Ocean Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030).
