ABSTRACT:
The disclosed method and apparatus provides for the upwelling of cold nutrient-rich water from a predetermined depth in the ocean. The method employs the conducting of a relatively fresh-water input stream to the predetermined depth, wherein the fresh-water stream is mixed with ambient sea water from the predetermined depth to form a substantially homogeneous mixture. The mixture is then conducted through an up pipe to a lesser depth, the surface, or above the surface. The apparatus includes a mixing chamber fluidly connected to a down pipe and an up pipe at the predetermined depth.
