Seafood supplies are dwindling :Fisheries closed or economically extinct include :
• Georges Bank cod, • New England groundfish, • West Coast rockfish, • Louisiana redfish, • Pacific albacore, • swordfish, • Orange roughy, … and now Patagonian toothfish?
…blue water … blue sky …

Demand is growing :There is growing demand in the U.S. for
healthful, sustainable protein foods
•U.S. seafood consumption worth $52 billion p.a. (1999)
• U.S. seafood imports worth $10.1 billion (2000)
• U.S. seafood imports growing at 12% p.a.

Mega-TrendsKona Blue is at the confluence of several mega-trends in both US andglobal markets:
• Seafood consumption:– US consumption rose in 2004 for the
3rd straight year
– $150B global market, has doubled over the past 25 yrs with prices increasing over 500%
• Depleted Ocean Resources:– wild caught supply is flat since 1990
– 75% of wild caught fish are eitherover-fished or at sustainable limit

Mega-TrendsKona Blue is at the confluence of several mega-trends in both US andglobal markets:
• Aquaculture:
– average annual growth of 9.2% since 1970; now1/3rd of all seafood
– $50B global market, projected to double by 2030 (FAO)
• Healthy/Sustainable products:
– US Organic food & beverage market has grown from $1B in 1990 to $12.2B in 2004
– $23B global market

Offshore aquaculture offers:
• Improved water quality – healthy, high-quality fish
• Deeper water – minimal environmental impacts
• Submersible cages – protected from storms
• Minimal conflicts with other user groups
= The opportunity to culture superb products in pristine waters
