#Funningsfjørður (pop. 59) is located at the bottom of an inlet. It's an outlying village from #Elduvík found in 1832 as #niðursetubygd.
Its name comes from the village of #Funningur - the noun #finningur means #find. Tradition says that the first viking on the #FaroeIslands, #Grímur Kamban, settled there.
The company #OceanRainforest is experimenting with #seaweed cultivation in the fjord, and at the port, up to 4k pallets are produced daily.
Our underwater kelp forests are dying - And that’s not good news for the climate. https://www.vox.com/23698253/kelp-forests-seaweed-ocean-climate-change
-> One effective solution - which is barely mentioned in the article - is to actively seed and grow kelp - like Ocean Rainforest is doing in the Faroe Islands and in Santa Barbara, California https://www.oceanrainforest.com
