This half-day Blue Economy Innovation Summit is hosted by Santa Barbara’s new Ocean Collective initiative, led by Commercial Fishermen of Santa Barbara. The summit will bring together academic researchers, policymakers, and industry representatives from our region's blue economy, including sustainable fishing, aquaculture, coastal conservation, renewable ocean energy and blue tech, to brainstorm new collaborative R&D projects that could build resilience and accelerate growth for our region’s blue economy. Support for the summit comes from the California NanoSystems Institute at UCSB with Climate Innovation Funding from the State of California.
