Ripple zoomed in on the big mess (and big promise) of fixing our oceans, bringing together people from science, startups, and investment.

Here’s what came through:

- Blending all the ocean data out there isn’t simple—but it’s the only way to see the full picture.

- There are treasure troves of knowledge stuck in private and government hands; unlocking these could make huge strides possible.

- Smart, connected tools—like high-tech sea robots and better data sharing—are already starting to change the game.

- Restoring ocean health means more than just new tech: it needs broad teamwork and clear goals.

- Projects to remove carbon and rebuild marine life are growing, but hitting real impact takes everyone’s buy-in.

The mood? Hopeful but realistic: if we want to help the oceans bounce back, real teamwork and a mix of new ideas will make the difference.
