Here we are in our back lot.
One of the coolest collaboratios
happening here in San Diego.
We have Sea Trees and Virgin Beer Company.
You guys have come together in r
of our Earth, which is amazing.
I love this and love this beer.
Love the canning, Love all of t.
Tell us about this.
Matt, our beer tender from Virg.
How's it going? Good.
How are you? Good,
good. Yeah.
So reclaim the Sea West Coast I.
It's got Citra, Strata and Chin.
OK, so a little bit of new.
A little bit of old school.
Yes. OK. Very nice. Yeah. So what's the new? What's the old?e
new is going to be the strata. The strata.
And then the, the oldest guy, Citron.
And the Chinook is a little like throwback
kind of the happiness. OK, Very nice.
Sounds delicious. I'll let you
two do the drinking because I
obviously cannot. But Elena,
you would see trees and to have virgin
and sea trees come together for this cost.
Tell us about that and how it helps you out.
Yeah. So Sea Trees,
we are a nonprofit and we work h
local groups around the world t.
Plant and protect blue carbon
Coastal ecosystems like kelp forests,
mangrove forests, coral reefs,
coastal watersheds,
and recently research in our backyard.
So with partners like Virgin,
we're able to support local mare
scientists and researchers to figure out.
What happened to the kelp
and how to bring it back?
The important stuff.
I believe we have video of what you just
did right off the coast of La J.
So we're showing some of that right now.
Tell us the kelp forest.
You think here.
It's lush, It's doing well.
There's a lot of edibles living in there.
But what have you noticed?
Yeah. So back in 2014,
there was this marine heat wave
that hit our California coast.
And it actually wiped out
most of the kelp population.
And the waters returned back to normal.
And temperatures are kind of back to normal.
But the kelp never came back.
And so a lot of people wonder,
you know, why do we need kelp?
It's pretty annoying.
When you're out there,
gets tied in your surfboard lea.
But in reality, it acts as a bu.
So it protects all the
coast on the on the shore,
it protects against storms, wav.
It's home to over 700 species of green
animals and it actually sequests
carbon out of the atmosphere to.
Lots of benefits.
You don't see it all the time,
but it definitely affects
each and everyone of
us. This is great.
So sea Trees is going out there
helping restore kelp forests. Y.
So we're supporting local marine
scientists to do the research. .
Figure out how to bring it back and let
it thrive in this changing climate. Yeah,
and I saw that with Scripps
Institution of Oceanography.
Yes, they do incredible work.
We've covered a lot of what they've done.
So it's nice to see all of you e
together with the concern of our
oceans and our earth all in one.
You don't always hear about breweries.
Doing this much that Virgin has
been doing for the environment,
but this is a big deal for you,
right? Yeah. So this is the secd
year for this beer to come out.
And you know, our continued
partnership is something that's
close to our coastal brand.
Virgin is like, you know,
up in Carlsbad on the coast the.
And so this really hits home for
us And it just is an important
part of our ethos as a company,
right? Of course.
And I know a lot of local brewes
do care about the environment,
doing everything you can by the,
a quick shout out to the beauti.
Canning I love the kelp.
We have a lot of talent back a house.
Mackenzie. We know you did this.
She's very talented.
Really good at this.
I will let you open up this if
you like and I'll just smell it.
But in the meantime tell us about the
Earth Day event that you have gg
on. So the Earth Day event is tomorrow.
OK. Saturday, April 22nd.
And we're going to have on Earth Day.
Yeah. Science led talks over at.
At the Carlsbad location,
four to six, yeah, so see,
trees will be there and then wel
there's going to be a raffle of
benefiting seed trees and this
project and then every pint sol.
Of Reclaim the Sea is going
