Our Pilot Site
In January 2020, Ocean Rainforest, Inc. (ORI) opened its doors in Santa Barbara, California. A subsidiary of Ocean Rainforest, Sp/F, ORI has become the prime contractor with the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) Department for the MacroSystems initiative.
For the government contract, ORI will play a key role in establishing a local hatchery, deploying the cultivation structure tested in Phase I of the contract, developing highly-efficient and state of the art harvesting technologies, and collecting data on the environmental conditions and ecological benefits of offshore Macrocystis cultivation.
Over the course of the next few months, ORI will actively engage stakeholders and potential partners in the local community to help launch the initial phase of our pilot offshore farm. With their support, ORI will continue to shape this pioneering industry in such a way that does not threaten existing industries or stakeholders that rely on the marine environment for their livelihood.
