About this episode
This week on Everybody in the Pool, we’re kicking off a mini-series on the ocean — the world’s largest carbon sink, a source of food for nearly half the global population, home to 80% of animal life on Earth, and heating faster than expected. It’s also a climate tech category full of untapped investment opportunities.Our guest is Kate Danaher, Managing Director at S2G Investments, where she co-leads the firm’s oceans and seafood strategy. S2G is a growth-stage investment firm focused on food and agriculture, clean energy, and the ocean economy — and Kate’s work connects all three for maximum systems-level impact.We talk about:? Why the ocean is more than a philanthropic cause — and how multi-trillion-dollar industries depend on it? Decarbonizing the maritime industry, which moves 80–90% of global goods and emits 3% of total greenhouse gases?? The technologies gaining traction fastest: route optimization, air lubrication, wind-assisted propulsion, and batteries? Building better ocean intelligence with satellites, sensors, and unmanned vessels — and why balancing proprietary data with the public good is tricky? How aquaculture can take pressure off wild fisheries, and the tech making it cleaner and more efficient? Why global regulation (with or without the U.S.) is creating momentum for changeFrom high-tech sails ?? to land-based fish farms ??, Kate shares how aligning economic value with ocean health could unlock massive climate impact.LINKS:S2G Investments: https://www.s2ginvestments.com/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member and get an ad-free version of the podcast: https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/?
