S2G Ventures, a leading multi-stage investment firm in food, agriculture, ocean and seafood markets, has unveiled eight Ocean and Seafood trends that are moving us closer towards an ocean that can sustain abundant marine life, regulate our climate, provide food and crucial ecosystem services for a growing population, and support a healthy planet well into the future.
The United Nations declared this decade to be the ‘Ocean Decade,’ dedicated to Ocean Science and Sustainable Development, a designation that could not be more timely given the deteriorating health of the ocean and our increasing dependence on it for sustenance, climate regulation, trade, tourism and countless other ecosystem services. The next few years will be crucial for creating the framework for a new approach to our ocean economy. We know there are boundless opportunities to create systemic changes that can alter the trajectory of ocean health, climate resilience and food security while also generating above average financial returns.
According to Larsen Mettler, S2G Ventures Managing Director of Oceans and Seafood, “The industry is experiencing a renaissance driven by an alignment of values throughout the supply chain. Today’s entrepreneurs are being supported by industry, government, funders and consumers as they leverage modern technology to substantially derisk and responsibly expand the sector.”
S2G Ventures new report, “8 Trends Critical to a Vibrant Blue Economy”, explores the trends that are fueling the transition to a healthier ocean ecosystem and more sustainable seafood supply chain. The trends fall into three categories: A Sea of Data is Being Applied to Improve Ocean Outcomes, Novel Seafood Production Methods Align Sustainability and Profitability, and Consumers Demand Accessible and Responsible Seafood.
