Blue Builders is a podcast sharing the stories of people working to conserve and restore our ocean ecosystems.
As a new series from the Nature Builders Podcasts, Blue Builders explores the journeys of individuals who have committed their lives and careers to marine conservation: from grassroots activists and scientists to entrepreneurs, policymakers, and funders. Through in-depth, unscripted conversations, we dive into what drives lasting commitment to nature, what actually works in the field, and how diverse strategies can come together to address the climate and biodiversity crises.
Blue Builders strips away idealism to reveal the practical mechanics of marine restoration. For listeners seeking authentic, boots-in-the-sand perspectives on ocean conservation, these conversations offer insight into how diverse approaches collectively build resilience in our threatened blue world.
I hope that their stories inspire you as much as they inspired me!

In this new episode of the Blue Builders by Nature Builders Podcasts, I sit down with Alex de Caters, co-founder of Entobel, alongside Gaetan Crielaard. Based in Vietnam, Entobel is developing insect protein as a sustainable alternative for aquaculture feed.

Against that backdrop, we took a step back to explore the bigger picture, the challenges of the aquaculture industry and Entobelโs long game.
๐ช๐ฒ ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐นy ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐ฑ:
โ The link between aquaculture, fishmeal, and marine biodiversity loss
โ How insects like the black soldier fly can reduce pressure on wild fish stocks
โ The complexity of scaling a bioconversion company from lab to industry
โ The ups and downs of building Entobel from scratch in Vietnam
โ Why cost efficiency is now make-or-break for the insect protein sector
Alexโs journey is one of resilience, iteration, and long-term vision, a great example of what it means to be a Blue Builder.
