About Us

Growing up as an avid fisher in upstate New York, Steve worked as a fisherman, fisheries biologist, then pursued a masters degree in aquaculture and ended up spending close to a decade managing aquaculture farms overseas. It was there he bore witness to the environmental destruction, fraud, and chemical use that affect over most of the shrimp Americans eat today.

"Frustrated by what I'd learned, I returned to America with a mission to change the way we eat seafood. I decided to call the project “TransparentSea” because I want consumers to know exactly what and from where their seafood comes form. I teamed up with a leading engineer and scientist, Douglas Ernst to get started on a new type of farming system. Today, I’m proud to say that TransparentSea is producing shrimp that is local, sustainable, and of superior quality. Thank you for joining us on our journey to create shrimp that is good for you as it is for the planet."
