Photon Marine’s California Traction, Carbon Negative Algae, and Coral Vita’s Reef Restoration
Plus NYC Climate Week Starting(?!?!?!) Submariners Using AI and Aquaculture Robotics

Hello Ocean Friends,
Love to see Marcelino Alvarez’s Photon Marine in the news. ICYMI I interviewed Marcelino a few months ago to talk about the future of marine tech. It is always nice to see the successes of good and thoughtful people.
If you are in the Greater NYC area and aren’t subscribed to Alec and Sonam’s newsletter, you are missing out. This week they highlighted their first draft picks for NYC Climate Week - Christmas in September for NYC climate geeks (of which I am a proud member). My only red flag, only one event that has “ocean” anywhere near it’s theme.
Friends, if you know of any Ocean-focused Climate Week events, send them my way so I can broadcast.
Until next week.
Best,
Will
