Hello Ocean Friends,

Big news this week Atlantic Fish, an IndieBio alum and founded by a fellow Navy veteran secured $305k in SBIR funding to drive cell-cultured black sea bass development. This is a great company, jumping leaps and bounds in the cultivated protein world. If they aren’t on your radar, they should be.

I was reminded this week that I have a very small readership because of the narrow focus of this newsletter. Just want to say I appreciate all of you. I really enjoy doing this, and am glad I can share this cross-section of BlueTech with you.

Best,
Will
