Kat Bruce of Nature Metrics & Sea Change nature tech challenge
Our NTC Now guest this week was Kat Bruce, founder of Nature Metrics and scientist turned entrepreneur who is passionate about the interface between science, business, and policy — the intersection of these sectors is something we’re incredibly excited about.
Unveiling the Sea Change nature tech challenge
Nature Metrics is bringing to market novel molecular tools for biodiversity assessment to accelerate evidence based decision making, improve environmental management, increasing the speed of monitoring efforts and reduce costs.
Their founder Kat Bruce joined us from London where she returned from her travels to COP28, Davos, and Finland.
During the call, Kat shared an exciting nature tech challenge called SeaChange, created by herself and Chrissy Durkin of Rainforest Connection. Together, they have recruited 4 colleagues working in nature and climate to row around Great Britain in order to collect data on the state of the oceans and highlight restoration projects around the coast.
The adventure kicks off in June and you can check out more details here via the website and LinkedIn including ways to follow along and support.
