Eco-friendly Seafood from New Wave Foods, Now Supported by blue horizon

Blue horizon, a global impact investment firm, has invested in the plant-based food company New Wave Foods. This investment will help further blue horizon’s mission to make more plant-based alternatives available for consumers, and support New Wave Foods’ development of cruelty-free, eco-friendly seafood.

New Wave Foods was founded to preserve and enrich seafood traditions while reducing the environmental and human rights problems that come with commercial fishing. It all started with the development of an algae - and plant-based alternative to shrimp, the most-consumed seafood on the planet and the harvest of which is the most environmentally damaging.

Using natural ingredients and cutting-edge science, New Wave Foods has successfully developed this shrimp. As a result, consumers will have access to shrimp without slavery, bycatch, and environmental devastation. At this time, New Wave Foods’ shrimp is available for food-service operators such as universities, resorts, and food trucks. The shrimp will be available to consumers in California and Nevada in 2018. New Wave Foods also plans to expand to select markets nationwide next year.

New Wave Foods won’t stop with shrimp, however: it already has plans to develop plant-based alternatives to lobster, crab, salmon, and other popular seafood. As these cruelty-free and eco-friendly alternatives become more available, New Wave Foods hopes to reduce the environmental devastation caused by commercial fishing and save our seas.

New Wave Foods was founded by Dominique Barnes and Michelle Wolf, who both come from STEM backgrounds and harbor a passion for marine conservation. With this investment, Blue Horizon is proud to be also supporting women-owned and run businesses such as New Wave Foods.

Dominique Barnes holds a Master’s in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation from Scripps Institute of Oceanography and experienced the devastating impacts of commercial fishing on the ocean firsthand. This experience helped inspire her to develop sustainable seafood alternatives.

Michelle Wolf is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University with an MS in Biomedical Engineering and a BS in Materials Science. She had worked in the research and innovation department at L’Oreal before moving to the Bay Area and teaming up with Dominique to co-found New Wave Foods.

Dominique Barnes, Co-Founder and CEO of New Wave Foods, comments: “We are very excited to have blue horizon on board. New Wave Foods and blue horizon share the same vision of providing healthy, clean and sustainable food to people worldwide. Together we are changing the way the world enjoys seafood.”

Roger Lienhard, founder of blue horizon, adds: “We couldn’t be happier to add New Wave Foods to our portfolio of investments. The impact of commercial fishing on both people and the planet is an often-overlooked issue and we’re glad that startups like New Wave Foods are coming up with solutions. We look forward to supporting their development of truly sustainable seafood.”

I turn my head a fraction and now we’re nose to nose, staring into each other’s eyes. Hers are a gorgeous caramel brown, twinkling with mischief.

I say, “Of course not. I’m a gentleman. I was gonna let you finish those conch croquettes first.”

She slow blinks and smiles.

My titanium boner is in serious jeopardy of exploding in my shorts.

“You haven’t even asked what I’m doing in St. Croix.” Angeline leans back and lazily selects another of the croquettes from the plate. “I could be vacationing with my husband.”

“No ring,” I counter, watching her make eating a piece of fried seafood look like dirty fetish porn.

She swallows and licks her lips, obviously enjoying torturing me. “My boyfriend, then.”

“You don’t have a boyfriend.”

My tone of total confidence makes her arch an eyebrow. “No? What makes you so certain of that?”

“Because you kiss like you’re starving, you look at me like a little kid looks at all the presents under the tree on Christmas morning, and you’re not the type of woman who cheats on her man. You’re too serious for that, even though you try to seem carefree.”

Something crosses her face, a look of surprise or irritation, instantly erased. She says, “I had no idea I was so transparent.”

Though her tone is casual, I can tell she’s disturbed. She doesn’t want me to look too closely, to notice things about her. Naturally, that makes me want to notice even more. I’m a bloodhound with the fresh scent of fox in my nose.

Let the hunt begin.

“Ignore me,” I say, watching her compose herself. “I’ve been out in the sun too long. So tell me, Angel, what brings you to St. Croix?”

She flips a lock of long brown hair over her shoulder and swivels on the stool so she’s facing the bar counter, her eyes turned away. “Work.”

I look at the infinity pool, the lush green mountains in the distance, the sparkling Caribbean Sea dotted with sailboats. Then I look back at her, in all her exotic glory. “Lemme guess. You’re a model.”

“I’m a travel writer, doing a piece on the fine resorts of the Caribbean.”

“A writer.” Sure you are. And I’m Dolly Parton. I slide onto the barstool next to her and take a slug of my warm beer. “Guess you’re not just a pretty face after all.”

I’m gifted with her full-throated laugh again. “You mean you couldn’t tell from that line I used on you when you came back from the pool?”

“So it was a line,” I drawl, gently bumping her shoulder with mine. When she looks at me, I grin. “You are gonna sleep with me.”

She tries to look offended but completely fails. “You think you’re extremely charming, don’t you?” she says, all prim and proper. Now it’s my turn to laugh.

“Hardly. My mama always said I’ve got the manners God gave a goat. I’m just a beer-drinkin’ good ol’ boy from Georgia with more balls than brains.”

Angeline eyes me. She lets her gaze linger on my tattoos, the scars on my stomach, and my hands, which have spent near equal time on the keys of a piano as they have on an M16 rifle. She says softly, “Or maybe that’s what you want people to think.”

Our eyes lock. A strange sensation makes its way through my stomach. It’s fizzy. Fluttery. If I didn’t know fucking better, I’d describe it as butterflies.

“I’m leavin’ tomorrow,” I say abruptly, holding her gaze.

Fifteen years ago her high school flame broke her heart so badly she swore she’d never love again. Now she makes millions teaching other women how to be just like her: a ruthless bitch.

Drop-dead sexy restauranteur and infamous playboy Parker Maxwell has only three rules for the women he dates: no questions about his past, no expectations for the future, and no spending the night. When he meets Victoria, however, he’s willing to break his own rules if it means sating the explosive desire she arouses in him. What he doesn’t know is that the alluring Victoria Price used to be the mousy Isabel Diaz, the girl he deflowered and dumped long ago.
