NewAtlantis Labs
NewAtlantis Labs transforms marine ecosystems into productive natural assets that help fund sustainable ocean conservation, benefit local communities, and drive financial returns. NAL is a pioneering organization dedicated to unlocking the economic potential of marine biological resources while ensuring their long-term protection and sustainable use. More specifically, NAL seeks to generate comprehensive marine meta-omics datasets to inform market-based incentives for conservation, such as biodiversity credits and parametric insurance products. Our goal is to transform marine protected areas into thriving hubs of sustainable economic activity. Together with our partners in government, philanthropy, academia, and private industry we are working to create a sustainable ocean economy that inherently addresses the biodiversity and climate challenges facing us.
