The Good Kraken

  • Year2023
As complex as an octopus arm, TheGoodKraken deploys its arsenal of flexible solutions along endangered costalines. a solution for tomorrow.

The Good Kraken is the one who saves lives, the heritage and nations from drowning. It stands as a viable alternative to current methods such as constructing dikes, restoring coral reefs, or artificially elevating land masses. The Good Kraken presents itself as a middle-ground solution, harmonizing the principles of nature-based strategies with cutting-edge technologies borrowed from various industries. This innovative approach embodies the spirit of Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner, a renowned poet and activist from the Marshall Islands, who proclaimed, "We are not drowning; we are fighting."
