in recent years, fertile farmland has been getting more expensive and harder to find. that has some wannabe farmers looking to the sea. their crop of choice, seaweed. lesley stahl has the the story for 60 minutes. >> welcome aboard. >> thank you. >> it's not often you get a ride to visit a farm, on a boat. >> here we go. >> we were on board with brin smith, the nation's leading advocate for a whole new type of farming. ocean farming. we joined him on a cold day in december. the time of year he heads out to his version of fields to plant his staple crop, a type of seaweed, called sugar kelp. >> here it is. >> this is the farm? i can't see anything. unr th,ist i idea is dn

>> is that kelp? >> yeah, these are the baby plants. they're about 2 millimeters, these are going to grow to 15, 18 feet. >> one of the fastest growing plants on earth. >> in like all the plants that grow in earth, seaweed doesn't need fertilizer or, freshwater. it's what's called a zero input crop. so now we are going to just unravel it. just attach the string it dwrgr on to rope. extend it eight feet underwater. that's it. >> that's it. >> in five, six months that fuzz will look like this. this was some of his crop last year. smith began leasing the right to farm this 20 acre plot of water in 2012 from the state of connecticut. his was the first commercial seaweed farm in the state. now there are nine. with a half dozen more in the

works. >> we hope, you know, in 10, 20 years. there are thousands of farmers doing this. we think it is the future time to move out in the ocean. luckily we can do it the right way. >> smith spent most of his life. working the oceans and what he now considers the wrong way. on industrial fishing boats. going after lobster, tuna and cod. >> we are tearing up whole eco systems with our trawls, fishing in illegal waters. chasing fewer and fewer fish. out to sea. >> you didn't think about -- the idea that, that, you were depleting. >> no. >> the population of fish. >> the oceans seemed boundless. >> boundless, and boundful. >> the sense of meaning of helping feed my country, you know, fishermen there are some jobs. coal workers, farmers, steel workers, and fishermen where, where, their jobs that are soul filling. they are jobs we write and sing songs about. i wanted that life. i still do. >> but that life was

increasingly in peril. cod stocks crashed due to overfishing. and after smith reinvented himself. cultivating oysters, on long island sound. hurricanes, irene and sandy hit. destroying his crop. two years in a row. >> he was really on the verge of bankruptcy. >> searching for a new career on the water. he sought advice from charlie yarish, a professor of marine biology, whose lab at the university of connecticut, studied some of the thousands of different types of seaweeds. >> but there is only 20 globally, that are, that are actually farmed. >> they're not all edible. >> no, they're not all edible. some of them actually are quite toxic. >> we have now all of these frames. >> it was yarish who suggested consider planting seaweed. has a mile taste. can be used as animal feed and fertilizer. >> seaweed for you was the

lightbulb. >> yeah. >> the moment. >> we can create jobs here. we can, we can protect and improve the environment, we don't have to make this choice. >> smith now operates one of the largest seaweed hatcheries in the country. with tanks full of developing kelp spores. and a processing room that comes alive in spring, when he and his team bring in the harvest, and get it ready blanched in 170 degree walter, kelp turns a vivid green. and can then be sold, fresh, or frozen, some times, in the form of noodles. smith's customers include google for their cafeteria, yale, university, several restaurants and wholesalers. he has sold out the last four years. but at this kelp farm across the country in the waters outside of seattle. producing food is almost beside the point. this is a test farm, where

betsey peabody of the puget sound restoration fund and team of scientists are doing an experiment to see whether seaweed can help fight the growing problem of ocean acidification caused by increasing carbon dioxide levels in the seas. >> roughly 25% of c 02 in the atmosphere is being absorbed into oceans. >> that is what we are getting from fossil fuels? >> from both car been emissions, from deforestations. people thaought, thank goodness the oceans are take up carbon dioxide. scientists started to dock. in fact when the car been dioxide getz inoes into the oce causes chec chemical changes. changing water acidity as documented in the climate science special report. the excess c 02 causes a

decrease of carbonate ions which their shells and skeletons.build worldwide, ocean surface waters have become 30% more acidic over the last 150 years. in the pacific northwest, the problem is compounded by currents that bring more car been rich waters to the surface. and that's where seaweed comes in. >> kelp take up carbon dioxide like any plant does. it just so happens it lives in water. there are winners and losers in ocean acidification. k or n organisms are a loser. they can't handle the lower ph. they can't depotz it sit as muc. on the other hand. seaweed like kelp. they pick up the carbon dioxide. now easier for them to do photo synthesis. >> imagine trees on land pulling c 02 out of the atmosphere.
