The purpose of this program is to understand and mitigate the effects of methane on the progression of climate change, primarily within New England and the State of Maine. It serves to conduct research on how the consumption of seaweed can reduce the production of methane in cattle from eructation and flatulence and how organic dairy farmers and their willingness to learn about the environmental benefits and support the aquaculture market. The continual work on this subject will create positive spillovers in terms of aquaculture (enhancing the work sector) and the reduction of carbon emissions (seaweed can sequester carbon through absorption). Ultimately, we will be able to educate local farmers on the benefits of introducing seaweed as a supplement in cattle feed and encourage local residents to purchase locally, before moving to the national, then to the global markets of Dairy, Beef, and Seaweed.
