Zoe shares how the gulf of Maine is warming faster than 99% of all other bodies of water on the planet, how her team at Atlantic Sea Farms is working with 27 partner farmers to grow nearly one million pounds of kelp, and how growing that seaweed has a positive impact on the surrounding marine ecosystem.
