We don't like these numbers and neither should you. ONF aims to contribute to a healthier planet Earth by simultaneously increasing food production for those most in need and increasing the ocean's carbon capture abilities. We can't do this alone however, we need you!
About ONF
As of today, 800 million people suffer from malnutrition and within 30 years two billion more will require additional protein. Fish contribute a significant proportion of protein available to coastal states and now there is an emerging understanding on how to increase wild fish stocks.
The ONF is dedicated to increasing the marine resources available to poor malnourished peoples world-wide. It is pursuing two concepts: artificial nutrient retaining reefs in coastal waters and macronutrient fertilisation in the deep water.
We have launched our first nutrient retaining artificial reef in Fiji and we are about to demonstrate to the fishermen of el Jadida in Morocco the techniques of injecting new nutrients into surface waters of the deep oceans.
