[ENVS] Investing in Bluetech: An Ocean of Opportunity
We depend on the ocean for oxygen, food, climate change mitigation, and economic growth, but the ocean is under threat. Industry-driven warming, acidification, over-fishing, and pollution are threatening ocean health and productivity. At the same time, humanity needs industry and economic development to thrive. So, how can a healthy ocean and industry co-exist? Well-designed research, effective policy, and responsible institutions play an important role, but innovation is also essential to making industry more sustainable. Donna Hazard will touch on the journey that led her to investing in innovative ventures bridging ocean health and industry and provide examples from decarbonization to desalination and clean aquaculture to coastal resilience.

About the Mahler Sessions:
