Eat Like a Fish: My Adventures as a Fisherman Turned Restorative Ocean Farmer

In the face of apocalyptic climate change, a former fisherman shares a Green New Deal of his own, and a bold and hopeful vision for the future: farming the ocean.
 
In Eat Like a Fish, Bren Smith—a restorative ocean farmer—introduces the world of sea-based agriculture, a groundbreaking solution to the global climate crisis.
 
The ocean is a vast, untapped opportunity, home to thousands of edible plants. Using simple DIY techniques, we can grow more than enough delicious and nutritious food—without the use of pesticides—to feed the planet and filter pollutants from seawater, to boot.
 
A groundbreaking “climate memoir,” Eat Like a Fish interweaves Smith’s own story—from sailing the high seas aboard commercial fishing trawlers to pioneering new forms of ocean farming to surfing the frontiers of the food movement—with actionable food policy and practical advice on ocean farming.
 
It is a bold yet hopeful story of environmental renewal, and a must-read guide to cleaning the oceans, feeding the world, and—by creating new jobs up and down the coasts—putting working class Americans back to work.
