Ocean Frontier Fertility: The Global Prospects

Posted by James Bowery on Friday, 10 March 2006 04:19.

The prospects are great for ecologically imposed patriarchy enhancing the fertility of whites via oceanic frontiers.  The majority of the earth’s surface remains not only uncultivated, but not biologically productive despite the presence of adequate sunlight and near-adequate nutrients. If recent experiments in iron fertilization of high nitrogen low chlorophyll oceanic surface regions are any indication, the primary ingredient lacking is the pioneering spirit that led to the cultivation and increased carrying capacity of the Anglosphere’s frontier territories: The United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.  It is reasonable to expect that the Anglosphere alone could increase its numbers by a factor of 10, relatively unmolested by multicultural supremacists, during this pioneering renaissance and maintain if not improve the quality of their populations.  Other, less sea-faring European peoples could enjoy smaller but nevertheless profound population and territorial relief.  Moreover this population increase could be very rapid if the fertility rates of the United States frontier is any guide.  This is a prospect that seems plausible in no other way short of world war.

During the 20th century, the number of people of British descent in the United States decreased, not just in percentage terms but in absolute numbers by six million—this according to US census figures by self-reported nation-of-origin.  It should be unsurprising that the founding population of the US is “the canary in the coal mine” for future demographic direction.  However, this was after the largest expansion of population of people of British descent in history—a population expansion that occurred during the expansion of cultivation throughout the North American frontier.

The prospects for another profound growth of British folk, and indeed of the entire North Sea folk represented by the term “Anglo-Saxons” is upon us.  This time it may be more favorable for the folk of North Sea heritage than at any other time in their long evolution with the sea.  The potential is to populate the sea itself—and an area of the sea that is an order of magnitude larger than territories heretofore cultivated by those people.

Here is a map of the potential territory sometimes called “High Nitrogen Low Chlorophyll” (HNLC) regions:

Aside from the high nitrogen content of the high latitude oceans—latitudes very attractive for North Sea peoples—the thing to notice about this map is that even in relatively low nitrogen areas such as “B” above, the potential for cultivation is astounding.  “B” marks the spot of the IronEx II* experiment:

The late John Martin at Moss Landing hypothesized in 1987 that large sections of the HNLC oceans were ready to support ecosystems nearly as abundant as those off the coast of Peru, the largest fisheries in the world, except for the lack of one key nutrient:  Iron.  In 1995, subsequent to his death, his team tested “the Iron hypothesis” by spreading a half ton of iron sulfate (available in huge cheap quantities as a byproduct of iron smelting) over a wide area of ocean.  The south Pacific ocean turned from “crystal clear electric blue”, virtually devoid of life, to “duck pond green”.  They produced 25,000 tons of biomass for a factor of 50,000 gain from fertilizer to biomass.  Once the ocean desert bloomed with phytoplankton, zooplankton, the next link up the food chain, began grazing.  Had they kept going, zooplankton grazing fish could have been introduced, such as anchovies, but they terminated the fertilization and watched.  When they terminated the fertilization, the artificial ecosystem eventually disappeared.  This establishes an important feature of such fertilization for cultivation:  control.

Control is important because the density of nutrients is important.  If you have too much, the phytoplankton dies without being eaten by the zooplankton (or grazing fish) and rots, thereby removing oxygen from the water and suffocating the grazers and fish.  Too little nutrient, and you have an ocean desert.  There is a broad range of nutrient density where zooplankton and fish can swim from one meal to the next without starving—and the abundant fish catches off of Peru are an example of what you get when you make it easy for fish to fatten up on phytoplankton grazers.  The ratio of Peru’s fish production between normal (fertile) times to El Ninio is 1000.  Control over biomass productivity rates provides enormous leverage for the cultivation of human-consumable—and high quality—protein.

Given that IronEx II was performed in an HNLC area with relatively low nitrogen concentration, the potential territory open for North Sea peoples to cultivate is truly enormous.  Given there are no current ecosystems, let alone any “indigenous peoples” there, the normal political attacks are not available against North Sea peoples for this route of escape from race-replacement by multicultural supremacists.

There is little chance, of course, that the entire, nor even most of this potential will be captured by our people.  The capital concentrations of the West are in the hands of people who are at best indifferent and at worst actively hostile to the survival of our people.  Moreover, as W. D. Hamilton pointed out in “The Innate Social Aptitudes of Man”:

Often, however, the cost in fitness of such altruism and sublimated pugnacity to the individuals concerned is by no means metaphorical, and the benefits to fitness, such as they are, go to a mass of individuals whose genetic correlation with the innovator must be slight indeed. Thus civilization probably slowly reduces its altruism of all kinds, including the kinds needed for cultural creativity (see also Eshel 1972).

There is an entire globalist apparatus set up to minimize the degree to which innovators can capture, for their own use, the benefits of their innovation.  This globalist apparatus has recently sold out the industrial base of the West, via multinational corporations with no loyalties to the cultures giving rise to that industry.  This globalist sellout was, not coincidentally, to cultures more adapted to political exploitation than innovation.  This will also happen to a large degree during the expansion of oceanic cultivation if the globalist apparatus remains.  There is an increasing chance that something akin to the black plague will both exploit and dismantle this globalist apparatus.  The black plague arguably unleashed the Renaissance and age of exploration and something similar could happen again.  But the good news is that such is not necessary.

Even if the lion’s share of the potential of this new territory is captured by parasite cultures, the residual relief for now beleaguered and entrapped North Sea peoples, and many other European peoples , will be great enough that the taste of freedom will whet their appetite for more.  Given the fact that now we have the data about human biodiversity available, this temporary reprieve from attack combined with a taste of the fruits of freedom may be sufficient to create a real movement for freedom.

Next:  How the Japanese market for bluefin tuna may be a stepping stone to this potential for ocean frontier fertility.

* A cautionary note about the subject of “iron fertilization experiment”:  At present the funding sources for science are supporting these experiments because of the politically fashionable “global warming” issue.  The perceived value of these experiments is that they may show a better way to sequester carbon from the atmosphere.  Most of the debate over these experiments is therefore about the potential for such treatment of the purported dangers of a greenhouse effect, and the pros-and-cons are unrelated to the potential for food production or to the shifting of agriculture out of natural ecosystems to artificial ecosystems.

The next article about bluefin tuna cultivation goes into some more specifics about habitat design.  I didn’t want to lead with specifics because the specifics may be wrong.

This really is tin-foil hat stuff. If the ‘iron hypothesis’ advocates were so smart, they would be rich, if only by selling their idea to some venture capital firm and making a fortune in the process.

They are not rich. Therefore they are probably not very smart.

Any recent peer-reviewed articles on this salvation-thru-phytoplankton grazing theory?

Or are Science and Nature also part of the globalist conspiracy?

I’m afraid MR may be putting itself in the wacko department by publishing postings like these.

This is a rather strange indictment coming from someone who ostensibly represents a view opposed to the current trends in globalism.

Do you really think that the way men like Bill Gates have been behaving is indicative of the sort of intelligence required to make wise global decisions?

While “salavation-thru-phytoplankton grazing” doesn’t produce any hits in eithe Google or Science Citation Index, there have been quite a number of recent scientific papers regarding iron fertilization.

A good summary of the actual in situ experiments that have been recently conducted is at http://www.bbm.me.uk/FeFert/experiments.htm

The rate of experimentaiton is growing.

Or are Science and Nature also part of the globalist conspiracy?

If you’re talking about the “conspiracy” to increase the rate of experimentation and publication about iron fertilization, then perhaps you need to heal thyself, oh though pathologizer of others.
