INVESTABLE OCEANS

Welcome to our December Newsletter.

This our last newsletter of 2021, and since it’s a busy time of year we’ll be brief!

  • Our thoughts and sympathies are with those impacted by the pandemic, continuing climate deterioration and social justice issues
  • Our optimism for the ocean’s future is intact, and we see blue shoots in the collaborative efforts of so many over the past year
  • Our admiration is genuine for those who wrestled the oceans onto the agenda at the recent COP - a Blue Day is a hard won foothold
  • Our enthusiasm is growing over the packed calendar of major upcoming ocean events that will no doubt produce commitments and action (see calendar below for sampling)
  • Our thanks go to all who have supported our work and partnered with us

It was a busy year at Investable Oceans. We hosted over a dozen investor gatherings, generated funding for a number of companies, grew our investor community substantially, broadened and deepened our site content and participated in a wide array of panels, contests, competitions and conferences. We have no intention of slowing down in 2022, we share a sense of urgency with so many of you.

Finally, as we head into year end, we wanted to offer below some tips and tricks to make this holiday BLUER. You’ll note that they coincide with our five sectors, and contain some of our favorite ways to make a difference for our oceans. Have a safe and festive holiday, and see you in 2022!

And, as always, thank you so much for your support.

Ted, Brian, Vanessa and Glenn
