Years-long decline before final shutdown · Fatal mistake: Colombia blue economy/fisheries: DIMAR (Colombian maritime authority) controlled fishing concessions. INCODER (aquaculture, replaced by ANPESCA) had digital traceability. Pacific coast shrimp exporters (Promarisco, Seaharvest) used Chinese parent supply chain tools. AUNAP (National Fisheries Authority) had SEPEC digital platform for commercial fishing monitoring. Independent fisheries tech had no commercial procurement channel outside AUNAP/DIMAR.
Evaluating only BlueTechCO’s profile at its peak — without knowing the outcome — the model ranked Distribution as the #1 likely cause. That’s exactly how it died.

Documented cause
BlueTechCO built fisheries tech in Colombia. DIMAR concessions. AUNAP/SEPEC platform. Chinese-owned exporters (parent tools). Artisanal fishing (70%) zero budget.
Lesson
“Colombia blue economy tech must target the carbon blue credit market (seagrass and mangrove carbon sequestration in Tumaco, Buenaventura) — Colombia has 350,000+ ha of mangroves eligible for blue carbon credits not served by AUNAP or DIMAR.”
