Oceans & Blue Economy

The ocean covers more than two thirds of our planet, produces half the oxygen we breathe, and feeds billions of people. It is also one of the most underexplored frontiers in climate technology and sustainable food production. That is why oceans and the blue economy keep surfacing across episodes of The Grove.

The throughline is this: the sea is not just a resource to protect. It is a system to understand, work with, and redesign. Founders and scientists appearing on the show are asking hard questions about how we grow seafood without destroying wild fisheries, how we restore marine ecosystems while building viable businesses, and how blue infrastructure can become a genuine part of the global clean economy.

Episodes in this vertical cover a wide range of approaches. In The Shrimp Revolution, Atarraya founder Daniel Russek makes the case for decentralized aquaculture as a way to produce protein closer to where people eat it, reducing pressure on fragile coastal ecosystems in the process.

Across these conversations, a clear idea emerges: solutions for the ocean require the same rigor, creativity, and urgency we bring to energy or transportation. If you found this page while researching aquaculture, marine food systems, or ocean-focused climate investment, you are in the right place. Start with any episode below and follow the thread.
