Unique Natural Approach to Eliminate Algae and Reverse Pond Eutrophication

Speaker: Jeff Young, Advanced Marine Technologies The rate and severity of algae blooms in the U.S. have been increasing at a dramatic rate over the last 20 years due to the accumulation of excessive nitrogen in our waterways from over-development, fertilizer run-off, human waste, and other pollutants. The most common methods to combat algae is to kill the algae with algaecides, which are toxic to the environment. However, these methods only mask the problem, and in many cases increase the rate of algae growth in the long-term. The Founders of Advanced Marine Technologies (AMT) of New Bedford, MA will discuss their successful, 3-pronged method to eliminate excessive nitrogen and return waterways to a healthy state, using only natural products approved for use in certified organic farming. Jeff Young is the co-founder of AMT. In the early 1990's, he and his partner, Louis Spencer, discovered a unique method to enzymatically digest fish and food byproducts into a undenatured liquid in less than 2 hours processing time. The product they created, ORGANIC GEM™ Liquid Fish Fertilizer, quickly became the industry leader and base tool for organic and regenerative farmers. Jeff and Louis have been on the leading edge of the healthy food revolution, which all begins in the soil. Their position as early innovators in the field of soil health, has led to their skills being sought after and contracted by PepsiCo, Disneyworld, General Mills, and three foreign governments. They have been featured on NPR and in various trade magazines, won environmental awards and were guest lecturers at the Columbia Earth Institute. They continue to bring innovative and practical solutions to improve the quality of our food and environment.
