Living Outside The Box
The reason to do all this is about working to pioneer new methods to save the world - one ocean plankton bloom, one forest, not one discovery at a time. All at once.
This blog and my lifes work is dedicated to my 3 children and 2 grandchildren and yours too...and to mysteries of nature some discovered most not.
Ocean life taking charge!
If you know any good fish puns let minnow.
Things I now believe in, Mermaids. Things I no longer believe in, Dynamite fishing.
If you know any good fish puns let minnow. The best time to plant a tree is 40 years ago, the second best time is now.
Now that's bark that barks, we need more natural forest art like this
#8 Long Muddler, best fly ever for Western small water Rainbows and Browns.
One of our Old Massett forestry techs measuring a Sitka Spruce a few years back. This tree is now spared, along with a hundred thousand friends, from the saw forever! It only took ten years of effort .
When the salmon are in the river a few feet away and you look up WOW, but where a hat!
Imagine having to cross the river here to get to work on another forest restoration and preservation project.
Walking distance to work.
Ocean Pasture Restoration: Can We Afford To Postpone Exploring This Option?

Given the distinct possibility that we may exhaust the CO2 emissions budget by 2024, can we afford to wait any further before clarifying the uncertainties that surround the process of ocean iron fertilization? Which scientific, economic, and legal issues need to be examined in order to make an informed decision as to whether to include ocean iron fertilization into the Kyoto Protocol as a viable option to offset anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions?
Secondly, the potential of ocean iron fertilization is far from negligible in relation to other abatement options from an economic perspective. Estimates of the costs associated with ocean iron fertilization are in the same order of magnitude as the estimates of the costs associated with forestation projects. Ocean iron fertilization can also generate more carbon credits, even if we take into account the possibility that emissions shift to the regions or that the reductions are not permanent. Read more …
