This is good news, as it signals both growing investor interest in the sector and an increasing pipeline of investable opportunities. As this ocean investment ecosystem evolves, the question of *how to measure impact in investments has become a frequent topic of discussion*. To explore this impact question further, Investable Oceans and CREO conducted interviews and surveyed over a dozen leading sustainable ocean funds from 10 countries. We supplemented these interactions with reviews of available online resources, including websites and impact reports. We selected funds that already had significant capital under management and are currently investing. The funds collectively captured a diversity of ocean verticals, though notably, 13 out of 14 address Pollution & Waste Management. The discussions were candid and fascinating, and the surveys allowed for additional quantitative analysis. One clear takeaway: all of the funds we spoke with are actively developing strategies – often mapped to SDG 14 – in order to measure and understand impact in ocean investing. Still, there is a strong consensus that much work lays ahead. In this piece, we present our key learnings as well as insights directly from some of the fund managers. **Read the full article with many key insights along with useful charts and a Tedx video, all at** - ===== [![](/sites/default/files/Clients/GreenMoney-30thLogo.png)](/profiles/greenmoney-journal) ### More from GreenMoney Journal ###### [Sheconomy: What Happens When Women’s Financial Power Shapes the Economy ](/news/sheconomy-what-happens-when-womens-financial-power-shapes-the-economy) Mar 23, 2026 10:00 AM ET ###### [How the Cuban Missile Crisis Sparked a Career in Sustainable Investing: A Conversation With Cheryl Smith](/news/how-cuban-missile-crisis-sparked-career-sustainable-investing-conversation-cheryl-smith) Mar 18, 2026 1:30 PM ET ###### [Powering the Future: Investing in Grid Infrastructure](/news/powering-future-investing-grid-infrastructure) Feb 26, 2026 8:00 AM ET ###### [A Wealth of Uncertainty: Climate Change and Our Financial Well-Being](/news/wealth-uncertainty-climate-change-and-our-financial-well-being) Feb 24, 2026 10:00 AM ET ###### [A Just and Sustainable Built Environment ](/news/just-and-sustainable-built-environment) Feb 11, 2026 8:00 AM ET ###### [Mixed-Use: Green Housing and Social Enterprise](/news/mixed-use-green-housing-and-social-enterprise) Feb 9, 2026 10:00 AM ET ###### [Leading Trends in Sustainable Investing ](/news/leading-sustainable-investing) Jan 14, 2026 12:40 PM ET ###### [Redefining Investment Risks in the Energy Transition ](/news/redefining-investment-risks-energy-transition) Dec 31, 2025 8:00 AM ET
