RESTORAE
Brian is Founder of Urchinomics, an ecologically restorative aquaculture venture that turns destructive, overgrazing urchins into premium seafood, all while helping to restore kelp forests and seagrass meadows. Urchinomics has successfully ranched and sold their ecologically restorative sea urchin roe to Michelin star restaurants in Japan, USA and Norway. Urchinomics is one of 4 commercially-led ventures endorsed by the United Nations Ocean Decade, and has secured the world's first blue carbon credit from wild kelp restoration.
