Next, they climbed the rope down to the fourth floor, threading through an open window into the JP Morgan gem and mineral gallery. They are about to commit the biggest jewelry heist in New York history. Police find fingerprints after the theft of precious stones worth 3 million USD in 1964. Photo: Getty Images One is Jack Roland Murphy, a 27-year-old world-class surfer and violinist. This mastermind is commonly known as the surfer Murphy. His partner is Allan Kuhn, 26, of Miami. The watchman was 29-year-old Roger Clark, sitting in a sleek white Cadillac parked on the street, keeping in touch via walkie-talkie. Using glass cutters and rubber bands, the two thieves carefully sawed three glass cabinets so that the sound of the saw matched the sound of the plane flying in the sky to avoid attracting the attention of 8 security officers tasked with protecting the large museum big. The thieves took their time, spent a few hours in the lobby, and that night, they escaped with 22 gems worth $3 million in today’s prices. Among them, there are three rare gems: the Star of India, a 563.35 carat stone the size of a golf ball; The 100.32-carat DeLong Star ruby ​​and 116.75-carat dark purple Midnight sapphire – one of the largest black sapphires in the world. After collecting the loot, the thieves calmly passed a few policemen in the small park around the museum, then disappeared into the night. Murphy was sober enough to say hello to the officer. Then the thieves entered a jazz club, sipped cocktails. A veteran criminal who committed a series of burglaries in Miami, Murphy didn’t even bother to change his clothes. Indian Star. Photo: Wikipedia This elaborate heist started with stolen gems. The past of the Indian Star is always shrouded in mystery. This is a rounded pale green gemstone, 2 billion years old, 5cm in diameter, with a unique pattern like a 6-point star on the top and bottom, first discovered in Sri Lanka in the 1700s but forever 200 years later history will be marked. In the late 19th century, American philanthropist and financier JP Morgan hired gem collector George Kunz to buy a set of gems. The Indian star was among the jewels in the collection that Mr. Morgan later donated to the museum. There is so much lost information about many things in museums and especially in private collections, says Erin L. Thompson, a professor of art criminology at John Jay University in New York. Their owners did not specify their previous owners. No one knew about the journey of the Star of India and its owners until it was in the hands of George Kunz. Another mystery of this stone is why it is called the Star of India, and not the Star of Ceylon, the old name for Sri Lanka. DeLong Star ruby ​​red purple with 6 lines, originating from Myanmar, at that time was considered the most perfect ruby ​​in the world. An American named Edith Haggin DeLong donated the gem to the museum after buying it from collector Martin Leo Ehrmann in 1937 for the equivalent of $390,000 today. Ehrmann travels the world looking for rare and expensive jewelry, but the origins of the pieces in his collection are still unknown. There is no information on the sale and valuation of the DeLong Star ruby. US agents free Murphy (centre) after he was arrested in Miami. Photo: Getty Images The morning after the theft, James Oliver, the director of the American Museum of Natural History, was pulling his teeth when the museum staff discovered the theft. New York’s 20th police squad arrived at the scene just after 10 a.m. when informed. They found fingerprints and opened an investigation. The museum immediately closed. At first, investigators discovered that the thieves acted very carefully. When handling the box of large gems, they applied tape strips all over the circle of glass to be cut to prevent the glass from breaking and falling. Then they beat with a rubber mallet. With the next two boxes, they change their ways, just breaking the box and getting the jewels. The scene of the theft. Photo: Getty Images Officials say the thieves are unprofessional when estimating the value of the gems. They had forsaken a precious box of sapphires in favor of diamonds and emeralds of much less value. In addition, stolen rare gems cannot be sold because they are too popular. A plainclothes police officer tracked down staff at the nearby Cambridge House hotel, saying that the trio of thieves had recently thrown a grand party in an expensive room. After obtaining a search warrant and raiding the room, detectives discovered drugs, museum plans and books about gems. As police were searching the room, Roger Clark entered, saying that Murphy and Kuhn had flown to Miami. These two men were arrested two days after the theft and taken to New York. However, because there were no witnesses and no physical evidence, the case became groundless. Kuhn and Murphy were soon released on meager bail. District Attorney Marurice Nadjari started looking for other crimes committed by these guys to get a reason to detain them or at least get them to pay higher bail. Searching through old files, he found evidence to imprison two thieves. Kuhn when he was arrested in Miami in 1964. Photo: Getty Images While flying back to New York for the trial, Kuhn and Murphy were accused of strangling a woman to steal jewelry from a Miami hotel a few months earlier. That woman turned out to be the famous Hungarian actress Eva Gabor. The guarantee is now up to 100,000 USD. Gabor later did not sue, but the incident was enough for these two men to sit behind bars and be forced to negotiate. Sitting in jail, Kuhn told Mr. Nadjari that he could bring back the gems if he let him go to Miami alone. Not believing, on January 5, 1965, Nadjari and three plainclothes staff were on the same flight as Kuhn. After a series of phone calls and countless delays, they received instructions to find the locker keys at the Northeast Miami Trailways bus stop. Not long after arriving at the bus stop, a detective named Richard Maine returned with two soggy bags containing nine gems. These two bags were stuffed in Kuhn’s boat in Biscayne Bay. The gems are on display again at the museum, this time better protected. However, the DeLong Star ruby ​​is still missing. The thieves confessed to the crime and spent about two years at the Rikers Island prison in New York. The following September, a third party personally negotiated with a holder of the DeLong Star. Billionaire John D MacArthur paid a ransom of $25,000, or $200,000 at today’s prices, and the stone was recovered from a phone booth in Florida. Later, a man named Duncan Pearson was convicted in connection with the crime of hiding the ruby. However, several other gems were never found. For example, the Eagle diamond, a gem that was first discovered by a well digger in 1876 near the town of Eagle in Wisconsin, USA. It is thought that this diamond was cut into many small pieces, making the natural masterpiece forever disappear. Murphy did not change after serving his prison term in 1967. His crimes went beyond theft, becoming more cruel and violent. In 1969, he was found guilty of murdering two women who were accomplices in the theft of stocks and bonds worth $500,000 (equivalent to $4 million today). During a boat trip in Florida, a female accomplice threatened to accuse Murphy and his accomplice Jack Griffith if they did not share a larger amount. Both women were then beaten to death with batons, and their bodies were thrown into the sea. Murphy was convicted again and spent 17 years in Florida State Prison. While in prison, he began to minister with other inmates, preaching about atonement. In 1986, he was released and spent the rest of his life preaching to prisoners.

Not only acting as a trade gateway, becoming the driving force of the economy, the seaport system in many places has developed marinas with a 5-star infrastructure to welcome luxury tourists. Along with that, the strategy of urban development and construction of marinas suitable for each port area has also become a top concern in coastal countries. Hundreds of luxury yachts gather at Port Hercules for the annual Monaco Yacht Show. The achievements of the port urban development strategies are present all over the world. If you want to know how magnificent Hong Kong is, visit Victoria Harbor – a busy harbor with skyscrapers and neon lights that shine around the clock.

Where visitors are willing to pay 1,500 USD to rent 1 night on the yacht or 4,500 USD / night at hotels around Hercules marina. Only winning the lottery can buy real estate by the harbor? In Shanghai, the city with the largest port in the world, some experts liken Shanghai’s house prices continuously increasing over the years, so expensive that “you can’t buy it when you win the lottery”. Real estate in Shanghai has continuously increased for many years. With the advantage of marine economy, Shanghai has the second largest GDP per capita in China, only after Beijing, reaching 137,000 yuan.

Luxury yacht docked at Ha Long international passenger port. Yacht Bay – a new masterpiece in a heritage land As a coastal country, Vietnam has nearly half of the provinces and cities with the sea, with a total coastline of over 3,260 km running along the length of the country. However, only a few have enough conditions and built modern and large-scale seaport infrastructure. Among them can be mentioned Ha Long, where there is a heritage bay and today there is Ha Long international passenger port, which is the first specialized port for tourists in Vietnam. After being inaugurated and put into operation in 2018, Ha Long International Passenger Port has welcomed many unprecedented large tonnage international ships into Vietnam at the same time thanks to the advantage of being located on the international maritime route between India and India. Ocean and Pacific Ocean. On the other hand, the inland wharf is always crowded with tourists to experience tours to visit Ha Long Bay.

In Vietnam, it is easy to see that now only Ha Long Bay has all the golden elements to develop into a berth of super yachts. This place, with its harmonious mountain and sea topography, is a world natural heritage recognized by UNESCO and one of the new 7 natural wonders of the world. Sun Marina Cruise Bay is developed right next to Ha Long International Passenger Port. With great potential from the unique factor, the only heritage bay with a marina in the world, Vietnam in general and Ha Long in particular are pioneering to create a new concept called “yacht bay”.

After 4 months of working remotely in Miami (Florida, USA), Ms. Becks talked with editor Emily Sheffield about the heavy impact of the epidemic with the brand of the same name. The 47-year-old designer hopes that by September, the situation will be more stable. When asked if she would attend the Spring 2022 show, Victoria Beckham wasn’t sure it would be financially viable. Victoria Beckham can’t afford the upcoming show. Photo: 15MIN. “Honestly, the pandemic has really affected my business. Will I have enough money for the show? Probably not. It could still be digital. I’m lost. objective and realistic. Doing fashion shows costs a lot of money,” she said. When the pandemic first hit, Ms. Becks hoped it would turn the fashion industry into a more level playing field. People are forced to be creative, spending less money on lavish shows. But that didn’t happen. According to Ms. Becks, small brands need to be more creative to be attractive. Photo: Harper’s Bazaar. Victoria Beckham feels great that the big fashion houses still hold the show. However, with a smaller brand, this playground becomes a difficult place to compete. They need to explore new, creative avenues for engagement, attention, and communication of innovation. Victoria Beckham launched her eponymous women’s collection in 2008. She believes the best way to get into fashion is through a show where people can see, hear and photograph a model wearing clothes. Ms. Becks also said that the product combined with Reebok launched in 2019 has had great results despite social distancing.

Sweating in the Sunday afternoon sun, visitors check in to the online system – no proof of residency is required – and right after that they get a free dose of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine and receive get a vaccination card. Many tourists in need of vaccination have flown from abroad to Miami Beach, USA People are coming from all over Latin America like Ecuador, El Salvador, Venezuela, where the implementation of vaccination is slow or there is a shortage of vaccine supply. “In my country, Covid-19 is getting out of hand and there is not much chance that we will have access to a vaccine anytime soon,” Maria Bonilla, from the Republic of Honduras, told AFP on Saturday. . The 40-year-old accountant flew to Miami with her 63-year-old and 73-year-old parents. The three of them stood in line together, wearing masks. “We decided to look for a solution outside of the country,” Bonilla said. On Friday, 50-year-old Blanca Diaz, from Mexico, reached the same conclusion: “They’re just starting to vaccinate the elderly,” she said of the Covid-19 vaccination situation in her homeland. myself. Bonilla is acutely aware of her privilege to be able to travel with her parents for vaccinations. “Unfortunately vaccination has created a divide as some of us have access to health protection and others do not,” Bonilla said. Miami City Commissioner David Richardson, a Democrat, told AFP he had mixed feelings about tourists coming to Miami Beach to get vaccinated. He said: “I think we, the US government should help as many people as possible. My only concern is that it seems that people who can afford to buy plane tickets can come to the US and get vaccinated. right now but what about the poor people in South America?”. Richardson also requested, urging the US government to send the vaccine support abroad “so that everyone can access the vaccine, not just the people who can afford to come here”. On Sunday, the Johnson & Johnson vaccination counter had injected about 175 people. This is a popular vaccine brand among travelers because only a single dose is required. (According to TNN/Dan Tri)

After Charlton ordered the human staff, the second robot delivered the finished food to the customer. The food is neatly arranged on the tray. “Thank you,” Vicki Charlton said. The robot replied “Nothing”. Restaurant Mr. Q in South Florida (USA) uses robots to serve customers. Photo: Sun-Sentinel. For the past several weeks, Joy Wang, the owner of Mr. Q has difficulty recruiting waiters on weekends, when the number of visitors is too large. “A former employee once told me that they would rather stay home and get unemployment benefits,” Wang said. Due to not recruiting enough staff, Wang decided to use robots to assist in serving the restaurant. Last week, she bought three service robots for $30,000. According to the Sun-Sentinel , Mr. Q is one of the first restaurants in South Florida to use robots to serve customers. This trend also extends to Miami. In late March, REEF, an online restaurant service company, partnered with startup Cartken to produce a local food delivery robot. Matt Lindenberger, chief technology officer of REEF, said the electric robot can deliver goods in the downtown Miami area in 30 minutes. According to Lindenberger, the robots are the size of hot dog carts, which can climb up or down sidewalks, automatically avoiding cars and pedestrians. In addition to the reception robot, Mr. Q also equips a robot to serve food. Photo: Sun-Sentinel. “Applying service robots helps to save staff costs. Instead of using 5 people to deliver 5 orders, I can use 3 robots and a human,” Lindenberger said. In California, fast-food chain Chik-Fil-A also plans to use semi-autonomous robots for delivery, while Domino’s will deliver pizza by robot car in Houston. An employee at Mr. Q thinks it’s reasonable to apply robots because they don’t carry disease-causing viruses, don’t cough on food, don’t rest (unless they need to recharge). Instead, they are always happy, only interested in work. Michael Salcedo, waiter at Mr. Q said the older guests enjoyed Peanut. It also takes care of taking orders if another employee is busy. When bringing guests to the table, Peanut’s touch screen will display the menu. On special occasions, the robot can even sing “Happy Birthday” or “Merry Christmas” in four languages. Older diners enjoy being served by robots. Photo: Sun-Sentinel. Unlike Peanut, the restaurant’s two remaining service robots are unnamed. However, Salcedo prefers to call them Beavis and Butthead, because they often bump into each other in restaurants. Shaheen Maleki, restaurant manager Mr. Q said the robots are sometimes quite noisy. “There was a time when Peanut was about to run out of battery. It says ‘I have to go back. I had to go back by myself’, while we couldn’t find the volume button (to adjust the robot’s speakers)”, Maleki said that the service robot both attracts customers and helps the restaurant, but can also be annoying at times. . According to Maleki, many customers film the robot and then post it on the Internet to help the restaurant become more known. With large dining tables, a robot can serve food in one go, the job sometimes requires 3-4 people, or one person has to move many times. Various types of unique robots at the technology fair in Thailand Amazing robotic assistants helping with directions and serving food and medical robots were showcased at a recent tech fair in Thailand.

Useppa Island, a secret place On the small island of Useppa, I was sleeping with the CIA, at least the decor in my bedroom had that nuance. I grabbed the big bedroom at the Collier Inn, an recreational fishing mansion set in a mangrove forest on the Florida Bay coast that was once involved in the dark conspiracy of the Cold War. One of the unprecedented twists in the history of American tourism reveals that CIA agents took over the Collier Inn from a former millionaire in the spring of 1960, then Useppa Island (a resort). normal cool) has been converted into a secret training camp used for the invasion of Cuba during leader Fidel Castro, a shocking event known as the Bay of Pigs. The assault on the southern coast of Cuba on April 17, 1961 was an utopian attempt to bring down the leftist revolutionary (Fidel), but it has become a scorn for the United States. After three days of fighting, the 1,200 CIA-trained force failed under the Fidel Castro administration. That failure was hard to imagine when the CIA first chose Useppa. At that time, the small island lived in a precious calm atmosphere. Across the horizon, the cool green islands of mangrove trees glow in the sunset. It is that serenity that has fostered sinister intrigue against the small island. President John F. Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy welcomed veterans (lost) at the Orange Bowl (Miami, Florida) in December 1962. Photo source: Flip Schulke / Getty Images. When I read about the Cold War period in Useppa the details were so gale, I figured the only way to solve the problem was to get there myself. Clearly Useppa has not lost its classic ambience, cars are banned from use on the island, and only a few people (mostly elderly and have tanned skin), residents only have can use electric cars (for golfers), friendly space. On the path lined with roses, running through the island is flanked by coconut trees and many banana bushes. “This is the beginning of it all,” said Ms. Rona Stage, museum director at Useppa. The entire Useppa island is only 1 mile long, less than 3 miles wide, and the CIA’s secret base is only 274.3 square meters wide. The first highlight is the 4 small bungalows where the 66 recruits used to live, they are Cuban descent and in their 20s, some of them are in their teens. Houses are built from pine cores to prevent decay. At the Collier Inn, where CIA agents used to be a hideout, I spent the night here in the very renovated dining room into the hall for the recruits. The store located near the building’s swimming pool was a place where spies and doctors previously conducted a series of tests for participants in training, including how to combat lie detectors, and Rorschach ink-based tests to determine their solid political stability, intelligence assessments, and comprehensive fitness tests. In the museum in Useppa there are historical artifacts such as costume uniforms, and dramatic photographs of the war. There is a photo of CIA-trained soldiers on the island of markers showing those killed, executed, killed during training or taken prisoner in Havana. The museum also teases Useppa’s thrilling storyline, which turns out to be the CIA’s pick and intent to vanish it on the map. In April 1961, survivors of the 2506 Attack Brigade were taken prisoner during the Bay of Pigs incident. Photo source: Miguel Vinas / AFP via Getty Images. Plan to set up a CIA training camp Since the 1870s, the small island of Useppa has been a fisherman’s paradise, and its heyday began in 1911 when a Florida millionaire named Barron Collier spent $ 100,000 to buy the island. a place for him and his friends to relax, partying away from prying eyes. In the early 20th century, millionaire Collier built houses, golf courses, palaces and a luxury hotel. The romantic millionaire secretly set up a lot of “second rooms” in the hotel, and his wife and his children slept in houses scattered on the island … Millionaire Barron Collier died in 1939. , and Useppa fell into disrepair. During World War II, the large hotel on the island was smashed by storms and eventually burned to the ground, but the Collier family maintained the plantation-style mansion and today it bears the name. Collier Inn. In 1960, the tropical island became the ideal base for the CIA to carry out an ambitious plan to overthrow the Government of Fidel Castro, which President Eisenhower commissioned and his successor John F. Kennedy would. cannot ignore. In May 1960, a Miami businessman named Manuel Goudie y de Monteverde leased the entire island to the CIA, and the agency quickly recruited recruits for the so-called Brigade 2506. Combining documents By reference I looked up in the stories of Mrs. Rona Stage, I chained the events together to get the most general background of the event. Accordingly, the young Cuban youth who were recruited from the Cuban anti-Fidel community in Miami – the name was never touched by the CIA – they were summoned at night to form small groups from 8 to 10 people gathered in the parking lot of White Castle. Without knowing their destination in advance, the people were transported in a van with black doors that flared for three hours across the Everglades swamp to a fishing camp, and then they gathered. Piled up a speedboat. There were three armed Americans who took the youth to a ship port on the dark island and showed them shelter. During the next two months in this unobtrusive training camp, CIA agents diligently performed tests, and trained recruits in coding, radio operations, outdoor survival skills, and demolition technique. The recruits receive mainly weapons from World War 2 and Thompson machine guns to practice guerrilla warfare in the mangrove forest near the golf course. CIA agents are certain that the guns were donated by a wealthy Cuban philanthropist and are certainly not supplied by the US government. The recruits themselves say they are working for a “New CIA”, or “Cuban Invasion Committee”. Even at Useppa, secrets are still revealed. In the entire history of the Useppa Museum, the most interesting thing to me is the correspondence between veterans – who reunited here – and most of them live in Miami. The facade of the Collier Inn mansion, which in 1960 was taken over by the CIA, turned it into a secret training camp for the plan to invade Cuba. Photo source: TripAdvisor. The narrative of veterans I went to a place called “Latin America Capital” to hear witnesses tell about what happened. I stopped at the 2506 Brigade Library (in operation since the 1980s in a house on 9th Street in Little Havana, Miami); Take a taxi to the Hialeah Gardens Museum, which honors Brigade 2506, to see with your own eyes the B-26 bomber is parked on the ground. In Useppa, veterans relive the Bay of Pigs incident in the most authentic way. The ambitious attack had begun before dawn on April 17, 1961 and malfunctioned shortly thereafter, when the lander hit the coral and 13,000 US soldiers waded through the waves to land. Cuban coast. The CIA’s grand scheme turned out to have been terribly wrong. The Americans hope that after the “Liberation Army” takes a foothold, an interim government will be launched, and the Cuban people will rise up against Fidel Castro. But the Cuban people strongly supported the Fidel leader, and thus the US-backed invasion failed. Fearing the Soviet military response, President Kennedy refused to use aircraft or destroyers to attack Cuba. Kennedy limited his air strikes on the first day of the start of the war and on the third day all airstrikes were canceled. The tiny Cuban force counterattacked and harassed landing aircraft and CIA-trained forces on the beaches that the Fidel government had deployed; US aid operations have not materialized. Finally, on April 20, 1961, about 1,200 American survivors threw their weapons; the rest were soon trapped in the Zapata swamps. “The surviving legionnaires” (as Cubans call it) was put on trial in Havana and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Returning to the Hialeah Museum, I ran into veteran Vicente Blanco-Capote, at the age of 17, he was secretly transferred by the CIA to Useppa Island with eight other boys. Mr. Blanco-Capote recalls: “I don’t know where I am, there is a tall, blond American guy that we met on the dock.” There are three CIA employers that are known only by simple names like “Bob”, “Nick” and “Bill”. As for the 82-year-old Cuban veteran, Mirto Collazo, suspects that your move to Miami is a trap. When the rookies settled down, they realized that Useppa was not “Devil’s Island” as it was being stigmatized. Mr. Blanco-Capote exclaimed: “An island full of millionaires. Although there is no air conditioner in the house, they also have enough hot and cold water ”. The days passed in a place like a summer camp. On July 4, 1960, and the CIA transported 66 Cubans to two training camps located in mosquito-infested forests in Panama and a mountain range in rural Guatemala. Places with bad food, shabby and dilapidated housing, a miserable practice regime. After the training, they were assembled to 1,500 people and took the name Brigade 2506. History has correctly memorized the Bay of Pigs event as a bitter defeat.

Farm operators say animal welfare is guaranteed when salmon are kept in shallow pools as they are swimming in artificial water. Photo: Smart Studio. In the row of indoor swimming pools there, 5 million adult salmon were swimming passionately away from their home town. pass cold water fish to a hot area This is a Atlantic salmon species, famous for cold water in Norwegian fjords or in cold water lakes in Scotland. They are not native to hot and warm Florida, so in order to cope with the completely different weather where they were born and the ideal environment to grow, the aquarium is cooled, housed in a large building. cold and of course very good insulation. The building is named the Green House, which has just come into operation in phase 1 since last year. When completed, it will be the largest salmon farm in the world. The investor is the Atlantic Sapphire Company, said the current output of the farm is 9,500 tons / year, and when the farm is operating at full designed capacity – it is expected that by 2031, the output will increase to 222,000 tons. If so, about 41% of the American’s salmon demand each year, or 1 serving serving, would be supplied domestically. Atlantic Sapphire is currently one of the pioneers of the trend of investing in terrestrial and indoor aquaculture. The company is headquartered in Norway. “When we came up with this idea 10 years ago, a lot of people were talking so crazy,” said Johan Andreassen – CEO of the company. “At that time, no one believed that bringing cold-water salmon to terrestrial farming could or was financially viable. The advancement of technology dispelled their doubts. Johan Andreassen introduces salmon farmed in Green House. Photo: Atlantic Sapphire. According to Andreassen, Atlantic Sapphire has proven successful in technology, now only dealing with financial viability and how scalable it can be effectively scaled. Salmon farming in shallow tanks – Pioneering technology New technologies equipped for the Green House to operate are not unfamiliar, but the investment rate to ensure profitability has only been achieved in recent years. The building is equipped with a recirculating aquaculture system called RAS, controlled from data on temperature, salinity, pH, oxygen level, flow, and light in the water. The tank also has an automatic mechanism that removes CO2 and waste and water into a filter for treatment and reuse. Raised in a closed process, salmon is immune to diseases and parasites found in the natural environment, so Atlantic Sapphire does not need antibiotics or other drugs. “Compared to marine farms, we guarantee fewer incidents of disease, the death rate is also among the lowest,” said Neder Snir, chief technician of AquaMaof in Israel. This is the company that provides technology for Atlantic Sapphire and about 10 other businesses around the world. “We ensure farmers do not need vaccines or antibiotics. This technology ensures disease isolation and control of the farming environment ”. Atlantic Sapphire has invested $ 400 million into their US facility in a total of $ 2 billion in funding plans. By 2031, they expect to own a 372,000 square meter aquarium on the 65-hectare project area. Why is it America? A Norwegian company that invests in large farms in Florida raises the question of purpose, especially when the culture is in doubt or does not guarantee the welfare of the chosen fish. According to the Atlantic Sapphire, they ensure a closer supply to the US market instead of bringing fish from Europe to by plane, in addition to taking advantage of the natural conditions endemic to the southern state. Florida sits atop two layers of water – one is the surface freshwater layer, the other is the lower saltwater aquifer. Trout need a freshwater environment in the early stages of growth, larger than they need salt water. In the Green House, the technology system ensures these two water sources. Here, wastewater is pumped into deep underground rock under the salty water layer separated from useful aquifers, so it does not pollute the area’s common water source (only at a very small rate compared to the government’s regulations. ).

The supply chain right in the US enables customers to traceability and create confidence in the end product without having to go through many stages of virus infection. Also, the transport stage is not congested when the cost of the road increases dramatically due to the impact of the epidemic. Atlantic Sapphire salmon has become familiar with American consumers. Last year, the brand “Green House Salmon was sold for 12 USD / kg, 2 times higher than imported Norwegian wild salmon. Would that worry salmon farmers and exporters in Nauuy and Scotland? Ragnar Tveteras – Professor of Commerce at Stavanger University (Norway) explains in a detour: “I think there is a challenge of using energy, about CO2 emissions, but I still do not have enough data. Demand (farmed fish) does not bother me too much, it is important that the price will probably go up ”. And Alan Tinch, technical head of the fishing services firm Benchmark Genetics in Scotland, predicts a change from Scottish farmers to adapt. “Maybe they will transfer the fry to an indoor farm, when healthy, they will be brought back to the natural marine environment. The wild fish still has its quality and location ”. The Green House project is not really smooth, even though it is advertised as a pioneer in technology. In July 2020, a water quality incident forced the company to harvest 200,000 salmon early before they were 20 months old. In March this year, fish also died abnormally and at the beginning of April there was a gas leak incident causing 3 workers to be hospitalized. Animal Rights Protection PETA criticizes the Green House project and about 40 other businesses developing terrestrial aquaculture farms, including a planned seabass farming project in Arizona. “Fish can feel, think, can know pain or joy, they belong to themselves, not people,” said Dawn Carr, Project Director of (food) vegetarian PETA said. “This fish farming is cruel.” But Director Johan Andreassen argues that the criteria for animal welfare, at the Green House, are fin shape and swimming speed, which is continuously and fully controlled by the company.
