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 change From high-tech sails ⛵️ to land-based fish farms 🏭🐠, Kate shares how aligning economic value with ocean health could unlock massive climate impact.
