In this episode, we’re exploring the pivotal role of data to not only protect our ocean but to better leverage its immense potential to foster climate resilience and drive a sustainable marine economy. At the S2G Summit, Larsen Mettler, Oceans Managing Director at S2G, led a panel with Kimberly Mathisen, CEO at Hub Ocean, Justin Manley, Senior Advisor at OceanKind, and Zack Baize, Program Manager at NOAA’s Ocean-Based Climate Resilience Accelerator. The panelists discuss the opportunity to scale data collection technologies, develop new ownership frameworks, and integrate diverse data streams. As we continue to gather more ocean data than ever before, it will take great creativity and collaboration to figure out how to harness it effectively. This conversation offers valuable perspectives for anyone navigating the ocean intelligence and investment landscape.
