At Davos 2026, we’re talking about the economy that underpins every other economy: the BLUE ECONOMY.
Chris Gorell Barnes, Co-Founder of Blue Marine Foundation and Ocean 14 Capital, joins us to explain why the ocean is finally getting the attention it deserves — from global leaders, investors, philanthropists, and industry.
The ocean isn’t just about conservation. It’s about:
? Planetary stability (the ocean is Earth’s operating system)
?️ Food security for a growing global population
? Shipping, trade & transport
? A $3 trillion annual economy — the equivalent of the world’s 7th largest GDP
We dive into:
Why the blue economy is the most important investment thesis of our time
How sustainable aquaculture and “blue foods” can outperform land-based protein
The role of AI, recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), and smart farming
How shipping companies, ports, and investors are aligning profit with ocean protection
Why protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030 is not optional — it’s essential
From Blue Marine Foundation’s work protecting millions of square kilometers of ocean, to Ocean 14 Capital’s investments in scalable blue technologies, this is what regenerative capitalism actually looks like.
If the ocean fails, everything fails.
If the ocean thrives, we all do.
