Restoring our oceans goes beyond philanthropy. Companies that address environmental issues such as coastal resilience, plastic removal, or limiting greenhouse gas emissions can be viable enterprises. “It is creating jobs. It’s driving economic growth. It’s expanding opportunity. It’s sort of the confluence of both sustainability and economic growth,” said Daniel Kleinman, CEO of Seaworthy Collective, a startup community and venture studio that works to connect and empower entrepreneurs and investors at all levels in ocean and climate impact. Kleinman spoke with us about Miami becoming the next ocean technology hub – or blue tech hub – with scalable economic development because “oceans should be the greatest driver of climate.” Seaworthy connects and supports sea change makers through its cohorts and other initiatives in Miami and beyond.
