Another good post that I can agree with from Vintage 1776.
Mike Velings is founder and managing partner at Aqua-Spark, a global investment fund based in the Netherlands. The group seeks to invest in sustainable aquaculture businesses that generate returns alongside positive social and environmental impacts.
“Aquaculture has the potential to be the best food system available to mankind,” said Aqua-Spark’s Velings. This vision defines Aqua-Spark’s fund management strategy. “What we are trying to do is build a large, global, public example of how you can be sustainable, healthy and affordable, with financial returns that are at least the same as when you do it in a more traditional way,” he said.
Investment money and or interest from Aqua Spark=0
Some of the same concerns facing investors are also deterring banks from financing small-scale or early-stage aquaculture companies. This is where CEI—the Maine-based firm—steps in, financing companies that have been declined commercial finance due to credit or collateral challenges. Often, these businesses have yet to achieve the scale and financial viability necessary to attract traditional modes of finance from typically risk-averse sources of capital. Unlike commercial banks, CEI operates as a non-profit organization and generally has the ability to take on more risk because they can lend capital from federal or state funds. The group provides vital capital required by young companies to commercialize their business.
Investment and or interest expressed from CEI=0
Indeed, the role of investment intermediaries is vital for moving this sector forward. By matching the varying capital needs of aquaculture businesses with the risk tolerance of investors, intermediaries can ensure that sustainable businesses receive the necessary financing to achieve scale.

SOMEONE SHOULD PUT NS IN TOUCH WITH THESE FOLKS VS GHS OH WAIT WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT BOTH THESE COMPANIES AQUA SPARK AND CEI HAVE NEVER HEARD OF NS , SO WHY AREN'T THEY ALREADY INVOLVED ?
COULD WE REALLY BE ON THE CUSP OF AN INDUSTRY CHANGING PROCESS AND NOT BE BEING TALKED ABOUT IN ARTICLES JUST LIKE THIS ONE?
