Of the many parts of the world in dire need of environmental redress, Earth’s oceans present some of the most vast and complex challenges for the conservation and sustainability community. The good news is that these represent “triple bottom line” business opportunities to benefit people, profit and planet. Some of the world’s greatest minds have been addressing these problems at the intersection of marine and synthetic biology. Five leaders will present the innovative and impactful solutions they are developing for some of the greatest threats to the ocean during the “Innovations for Ocean Sustainability” session, with moderator Elif Demir-Hilton from the Fish-Free Feed Challenge (F3) who will be sponsoring this session.
