The birth of the Whale Farmer project
A Whale Farmer is a term for a person who, despite their environmental concerns, is an active protector and enforcer of the marine environment. Whales are mechanical water mixers in the oceans, ensuring that water masses continue to mix. Mixing of water layers is an essential prerequisite for a functional marine ecosystem. In the Whale Farmer-project, whales are symbolic animals for alleviating the negative effects of ongoing global warming. Whale Farmer is a spin-off science and art research project from the MIMOSA project (Modeling Advanced Primary Production Scenarios in Coastal Seas) that was awarded funding through the SOS Project Booster 2024 program.
