Infrastructure economics, applied to an ecosystem.
Tidewright was built to exit the philanthropy cycle: seed capital bought the first fleet and hatcheries; since 2024 the program has run on harvest revenue, verified credits and council contracts. This is the model investors fund — and the report they read.
