I admire the amount of effort, time  and money as well as the  thought they are putting in.  My concerns are the current state of our oceans, human greed as seen in many fisheries,, and ecosystem issues.

So this is a grain that has evolved roots that can stand an entirely saline environment.  That sounds like a gold mine for plant geneticists to start splicing and dicing with the new CRISPR toy.  Seaside rice paddies are on the horizon.
