Low cost, high impact investing in the future of ocean health

Supporting early-stage blue entrepreneurs with seed funding to advance their innovative technologies can have an outsized impact on ocean health. This keynote interview will explore how modest investments have led to technologies that support sustainable fishing, the protection of marine life, deep-sea exploration, biomaterial innovation and broad public engagement. How do innovations in imagery, measurements and data analysis help find solutions for ocean health, restoration and conservation? These new technologies are changing the way ocean systems are understood, how ecosystems evolve over time, and how they impact the Earth’s climate.
