Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Ocean Advocates, Carlsbad Aquafarm is embarking on a crucial mission to protect the health of our beloved Agua Hedionda Lagoon—and we need your support! We are raising funds to responsibly remove our shellfish rigging from the lagoon, a vital step toward ensuring the future sustainability and health of this precious marine environment.
"The Carlsbad Aquafarm is pivoting its operations and closing its gates off the Agua Hedionda Lagoon.
The aquafarm has been a living shoreline and sustainable farm with habitat restoration for more than a decade, and some of the lagoon operations date back to the 1950s. It’s been in the caring hands of CEO Thomas Grimm for the last 12 years.
“I’ll miss it, it’s been a beautiful part of my life and I feel nothing but gratitude for having a chance to be part of this community, and the community includes the ecosystem here,” Grimm said."
