Mara Renewables, a company that provides algae-based solutions for human and animal nutrition, has raised USD 9.1 million in a funding round led by S2G Investments, an investment firm focused on solutions for the oceans, food, agriculture, and energy sectors.
Thanks to this investment, Mara will be able to expand its sustainable omega‑3 platform, strengthen R&D capacity, and further increase its ability to address critical gaps in global nutrition supply chains.
According to the Canadian company, the supply of omega‑3 DHA—traditionally sourced from wild-caught fish—still meets only a small portion of global demand. For this reason, Mara offers a fish-free alternative that avoids reliance on vulnerable marine ecosystems and goes straight to the source: microalgae.
"Our partnership with S2G strengthens our ability to meet growing global demand with reliable, high-quality alternatives that protect aquatic ecosystems, reduce reliance on wild fisheries, and support the health of people and animals alike. We’re proud to have a values-aligned partner who brings deep experience and shared ambition," said Harry Boot, CEO of Mara.
Additionally, the Managing Director of S2G’s oceans strategy, Larsen Mettler, commented: "In our view, Mara is solving a fundamental supply chain challenge with precision and scale. They have built an end-to-end platform that delivers consistent, clean, and high-quality omega-3s without relying on depleted fisheries."
