  It's a fact. Food, fuel, fertilizer, fresh water, and arable land-- all are running out.

But there is a crop that can grow in salt water, on true waste land, creating all the products we need by eating greenhouse gases and water water. And can grow 100x faster than conventional crops.

Algae! A truly green crop for a sustainable future.

We are the Shipyard algae lab community.
We have created the world's first community algae lab
for the development of open-source, DIY-oriented algae technology, to facilitate the co-operative pursuit of this new form of agriculture -- and we invite you to come learn how to raise algae and transform them into exciting products!

Whether you are looking for a job in the exploding algae biofuels field, or thinking about creating your own farm, we can help you get up to speed!

We have created an independent, non-profit algae laboratory for teaching and research using low-cost, widely-available materials, and we would love to teach you how! Get on board with this exciting, expanding field that's truly "green"!
