Lobstermen are Becoming America’s Newest Farmers with Briana Warner: Atlantic Sea Farms.

04/09/24 • 45 min

Briana Warner became a food systems entrepreneur when she identified a risky yet exciting opportunity: the Maine lobster fishing fleet worked only seasonally. The rest of the year boats were largely idle, and local economies felt the pinch. Enter the sea-grown kelp business. Briana realized a new additive industry could produce a triple win. It would bolster local economic vitality, produce an ecological advantage for the sea, and create ultra healthy food for customers. Now Briana’s company, Atlantic Sea Farms, is the largest line-grown kelp company in the U.S. and her team's success is reverberating locally and nationally.They are providing a positive new model in the food industry for responsibly grown food that is seriously healthy and delicious.
