2. THE NEW HORIZONS OF INVESTMENT Preserving shared heritage ecosystems (rainforests, coral reefs, oceans) The intersection of health, environment and agriculture (food preservation, food quality management, nutrition management, bioremediation, incineration, industrial biotechnology).

3. Economic implications of marine ecology Cost of toxic algae Opportunities for new sensing technology in robotic fish Marine resource management as an environmental trust issue

4. New sources of value in a global green economy Sustainability has value Acosta and the creation of value from ECUADOR rain forests Arable land as a gold standard Daewoo and Madagascar East African botanicals and the need for specialized agricultural lands

5. The trends in global capital allocation CASE STUDY INVENTAGES AGRICULTURE 2.0 NEW SEED ADVISORS

6. Oceans and marine ecology knowledge as a cornerstone of environmental restoration There is no famine when communities can fish Ocean mining, ocean drilling have to be turned into green industries Water management and nutrient production are cornerstones of the new global economy.

7. GREEN OCEANS AGENDA - Barbados GLOBAL HUB GREEN OCEANS VENTURE CAPITAL (nanocomposites, coral transplants, aquaculture, wave energy) with capacity to invest and build companies to scale.
