Moderator Elizabeth (panel host) framed the event as an exploration of the "blue economy," citing a World Economic Forum projection that the blue economy will be worth $3.3 trillion globally in 2026 and an estimated U.S. share of $825 billion; she also cited a rough federal investment figure of $18 billion and an asserted $46 economic return per $1 of federal investment. She outlined the panel structure and invited the first speaker.
