This week, The Next List profiles Brian O’Hanlon, Founder and President of Open Blue, the world's largest open-ocean fish farm.  O’Hanlon learned long ago that the world’s supply of wild-caught seafood could never keep up with ever-increasing demand. He set his sights on solving the problem by bringing a reliable source of sustainable, high-quality protein to the market.   O’Hanlon is raising fish far out at sea where the clean water and brisk currents are the natural place for fish to thrive. The Next List traveled to Panama to witness the operation first hand.
