Human impacts on the ocean have grown considerably in the last century. Due to the many consequences of climate change and pollution, our oceans and their valuable resources are now growing dangerously close to being past the point of recovery. To address this deepening environmental crisis, we must start to think outside traditional approaches to conservation. One of these "new" approaches that are being readily adopted is to invest in and support startups whose innovations have a direct and positive impact on ocean sustainability. Not only does this approach lead to innovations with great potential for furthering environmental protection goals, but it also provides unparalleled opportunities for the next generations to play a more active role in deciding the fate of our oceans.

Join us as we discuss entrepreneurship as an option for furthering ocean sustainability and explore how the next generation of entrepreneurs from around the world are tackling the greatest threats to our oceans by leveraging innovative technologies and creative business models.
