Biodiversity

A farm line is a reef

Within a season, a bare rope becomes habitat. Snails, amphipods, juvenile fish, and the occasional curious seal move in. We census the lines the way birders census a marsh.

gastropods    +140% on lines vs bare rope
fish          juveniles use lines as cover
mammals       transient, non-invasive

The finding so far

Life shows up fast and leaves at harvest, which is the point — we take the crop and the habitat rebuilds next season.
