Riding the Wave: Blue Finance for Restoring Ocean Health

Closing the Gap: Blue Finance for Restoring Ocean Health is a practitioner-level convening addressing the most urgent capital gap facing our blue planet. It is a focused conversation on how capital across the full spectrum, from philanthropy and catalytic capital to program-related and market-rate investment, can be better aligned to deliver regenerative, community-centered ocean outcomes.

Participants will explore how blended finance structures, outcome-based instruments, and cross-sector collaboration can catalyze the next generation of ocean investment, and leave with concrete connections, frameworks, and next steps.

What to Expect

The morning opens with a fireside chat on the state of ocean health and the blue economy opportunity, setting the context for the capital conversation that follows.

A practitioner panel explores Blue Finance in Practice, covering the full spectrum from philanthropic and catalytic capital to blended structures, outcome-based instruments, and market-rate investment.

The morning closes with facilitated breakout conversations designed to go deeper and surface concrete next steps.
