Nauti Sisters Sea Farm, a small-scale, female-owned oyster farm in Maine, leads climate-friendly innovations. In partnership with Shred Electric, we’ve developed a fully solar-powered electric work barge that operates essential equipment, including a water pump, tumbler, and electric outboard motor. The barge is self-sustaining, powered solely by solar energy. In addition we’ve also implemented a solar-powered refrigerated unit for transportation of products. Our goal is to create scalable, repeatable solutions for aquaculture electrification, addressing cost and technical challenges while reducing the environmental impact of aquaculture farming.
