We are Lydia and Andy, two people committed to finding another way to produce food, whilst helping to mitigate climate change. Our backgrounds are not in aquaculture, but we took the brave step of taking over Jurassic Sea Farms in 2022 because we wanted to be part of the change, not the problem.

 

Our Integrated Multitrophic Aqua Farm (ITMA) is situated in Portland Harbour on the Dorset coast and uses the proximity of species from different trophic levels with complementary ecosystem functions to allow the waste, nutrients, and by-products of one species to be recaptured and converted into food and energy for another crop. This takes advantage of the synergistic interactions among species while bio-mitigation takes place.

 

Think of it as a natural recycling system!

​

​Climate change and the consumption of natural resources by humans faster than our planet can renew them mean we need to rethink how we are going to ensure food security into the future.

 

We believe that part of this solution is regenerative agriculture, supported by low carbon, sustainably grown food in our oceans.
