Lockheed Martin partners with fish-farming innovator Kampachi Farms

Lockheed Martin recently launched a series of new initiatives in an effort to go green at a time when defense spending is shrinking after more than 14 years of sustained warfare.

One such initiative is a partnership with, Neil Sim’s, Kampachi Farms.

Kampachi Farms has been developing a fish-farming cage with Lockheed Martin that can “grow fish with literally no footprint on the oceans.”

Education Goals

Our Educational Goals:

  • To provide selected references and updates of research in this field at this website and with links to other relevant websites.
  • To provide a coral reef field education/training opportunity for high school and college students, local and otherwise, as field research assistants – the help they provide and the knowledge they gain can be invaluable. Their involvement will contribute to the development of a firm foundation for this cortisol-based stress indicator for fishes and possibly for coral reef well-being in general.
  • To provide student exposure to the complex and beautiful realm of coral reef ecosystems, we can commit future generations to the protection and sustenance of this amazing resource.

Ocean acidification could lead to collapse of coral reefs
