Regarding this first of Planktos' six pilot projects, Dr. Noel Brown Planktos Science Advisory Board Chairman and former director of the UN Environment Program says, "The science intensive Planktos pilot projects seek to help answer the questions about whether we can reverse ocean ecosystem collapse. We intend to do this by demonstrating the commercial viability of the 20 years and $100 million worth of publicly funded research that has gone into what the company calls ocean iron micronutrient replenishment. These efforts will help Planktos ocean restoration work to qualify as a producer of carbon offsets in the many ecosystem service markets of the European Union, Americas, and Asia."
As R/V Weatherbird sails next month she'll be festooned with sophisticated ocean science gear. These include a deep ocean pump sampling system, a 'Moch-Ness' ocean plankton net system, and a new multi-media lab. Planktos will share its work via a series of internet based educational programs it is developing for schools and colleges. Representatives from global media will sail aboard the Weatherbird to witness the work, beam live news broadcasts, and produce documentary programming for the global audience that eagerly awaits news on whether Planktos can deliver on its pledge to restore dwindling ocean ecosystems.
The destination for this maiden voyage of the Planktos R/V Weatherbird is the Eastern Tropical Pacific nearest to the Galapagos Islands yet still far to the west and safely both down wind and down current from those precious islands. This region of the world's ocean is most critically depleted in ocean plant life. Multinational iron micronutrient plankton research efforts have repeatedly chosen this location for study as the natural iron from the islands feeds the ocean there resulting in a vast natural plankton bloom. "The natural Galapagos bloom serves as the perfect natural biological control for iron stimulated restorative ocean blooms. Everything science knows about these natural Galapagos plankton blooms tells us they produce the wondrous healthy marine oasis that surrounds those islands with a life-filled sea. Since the first reports of Charles Darwin there has never been reported anything but positive effects to environment from this sort of iron stimulated plankton bloom," says Russ George, President CEO of Planktos.
