Looking forward to working with the ULTFARMS team to support development of Low Trophic Aquaculture developments within wind farm multi-use zones.
Ready to make waves! The ULTFARMS project has officially kicked off, bringing together experts from all fields to revolutionize ocean multi-use. Let's make history 🌊 #ULTFARMS #OceanMultiUse #Collaboration #Innovation

New pen design “could quadruple Scottish salmon production” thefishsite.com/articles/new… via @thefishsite
Nice article on recent developments on Net9-S here. Did you know the "S" stands for "scaled"? Gareth teases out the approach to scaled testing of marine structures technology, something pioneered in marine energy developments. fishfarmingexpert.com/impact…
Check out the latest updates on our Net9-S demonstration fish pen design which aims to address the safety, fish welfare and cost competitiveness challenges associated with bringing aquaculture into open ocean environments.

Join @johnfitzire at the @OPINProjectNWE Aquaculture webinar this Thursday, where he will discuss the emerging synergy between offshore renewables and aquaculture, as Impact-9 leads the push to high energy oceanic zones. @SEAI_ie @SeafoodFund @BordIascMhara @hatchblue1 @SSPOsays
@johnfitzire presented updates at Aquaculture Europe yesterday, outlining work completed with the help of @SeafoodFund and @SEAI_ie. Check out updated video on our website also for footage of recent testing. linkedin.com/posts/jfitzg_pr…

Impact-9 is delighted to have been selected by @seafoodfund to undertake a Feasibility Study for our offshore aquaculture solutions in UK waters and develop a commercialisation plan for the UK market.
The #aquaculture, #fishing & #seafood processing feasibility studies from our 2nd call are now on our website! We’re looking forward to watching these #seafoodinnovators start their #innovative projects very soon. Read about the projects on our website 👉 seafoodinnovation.fund/proje…
We agree of course and are watching with great interest the dialogue in the USA on this issue. Fish farming currently needs fjords. We are working to change that, whether its for salmon or warm-water fish. impact-9.com/technology
Have you ever eaten Atlantic salmon raised in Chile? I did and why Gulf of Mexico anglers should learn about open ocean aquaculture

Join our CEO John Fitzgerald at #AnimalAgTech at the start-up showcase session on 14th September to see latest developments.

Already? But we are just getting started? These in-fjord licences could fetch NOK 1.2 bn (€120m) at auction. Was Ocean Farm 1 just a profitable experiment? Was it really about solving *competitive offshore* aquaculture?

Our CEO wrote about the hazards of this generous incentive last year in "a licence to kill innovation"

Offshore petroleum competencies, marshaled by inshore salmon interests wont solve this. Bring on the disrupters.
@SeafoodFund @BordIascMhara @Innovasea
Impact-9 as a "more cunning alternative to the vast steel structures that are currently being produced" for offshore farming.

An unfortunate reminder that onshore RAS salmon farming is not the silver bullet that environmentalists & investors think. Carefully regulated offshore farming, especially in high energy sites, is far lower risk.

Study finds offshore aquaculture has low environmental impact and "that any impacts from offshore fish farming are minimal compared to all other forms of animal protein production for human consumption"

@BordIascMhara @SSPOsays @hatchblue1 @agriculture_ie
When it comes to developing new structures for offshore aquaculture, should we look to the oil and gas sector or the offshore marine energy sector for inspiration?

Ireland's Green Party election manifesto contains a huge green blunder when it comes to salmon farming.

Climate comes second as land-based salmon farms attract capital. salmonbusiness.com/climate-c…
Poor carbon credentials, higher stocking densities and unproven disease resilience will become increasingly apparent to consumers. Going offshore is the best route to sustainability.
We have the technology right here in Ireland - all we lack is the vision and good governance.
@agriculture_ie @BordIascMhara @MarineInst @hatchblue1
It is nice to be back home in Skerries! Looking out on the Irish Sea on a beautiful winter's morning, I can't help but think that 3 or 4 km off our beaches are deep, high energy dispersion sites for clean, sustainable fish production - invisible from shore.

In Galway this month looking at sites and development opportunities. With thanks to the @MarineInst for showing us their excellent test site at Lehanagh Pool and Bradán Beo Teoranta for discussions on operations around Kilkieran Bay. Go raibh maith agaibh!
@BordIascMhara
The Scottish and Irish coasts are great places for sustainable salmon production, especially at more exposed locations ....but new farm system solutions like ours will be needed to do it competitively, safely and without risk of more escapes.
