Episode: #124 Mussels: How to Save the Seas
Description: Intensive farming leads to nutrients seeping into the groundwater and into rivers. These enriched waterways deliver immense quantities of nutrients to coastal seas and cause algae to bloom, overwhelming the ecosystem.
Fortunately, blue mussels can feed on these algae and also provide a sustainable food source both for humans and for the agriculture and aquaculture industries.Â
Carefully located mussel farms can solve two problems at once and perhaps save our seas.
