This dissertation examines what goes into making "sustainable" ocean resources. Studying oceans and marine resources can challenge terrestrial understandings of space, territory, and sovereignty, especially when marine resources are spatially dispersed or abstracted from the oceans themselves. Marine resource extraction focused on "sustainability" assumes the possibility of achieving balance between environmental protection and capitalist resource exploitation. In this context, I examine how specific marine resources - and oceans broadly - are produced to suit evolving sustainability objectives. Although these resources are often considered pre-existing natural objects awaiting discovery and capture, I argue that they come into being as socio-natural entities through active, relational processes. I look at two cases of ocean resource-making, showing how resources and sustainability are co-produced in technoscientific, institutional, and discursive dimensions. The first case is the transformation of microalgae into a range of products like omega-3 supplements, fish feed, and biofuels; I trace how algae are optimized through technoscientific and institutional practices to become fuel for humans, animals, and machines. Algal product developers leverage imaginaries of sustainable futures to attract financial capital and public funds in the present, linking speculative investment to spectacular sustainability stories. I argue that complex materialities of novel algal products and product systems can lead to regulatory uncertainties, causing friction in resource-making processes. The second case examines how discursive practices construct the global ocean through the implementation of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14, which focuses explicitly on the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and marine resources. I use discourse analysis to argue that UN discussions on goal implementation both construct the global ocean as object of improvement and stabilize the sustainable development apparatus through forms of "solidarity work" such as partnership. In both cases, marine resources are co-produced with conceptions of sustainability, and resource-making becomes a mechanism of crisis response. This study shows that oceans and marine life are an important context for understanding the malleability and persistence of sustainable development as it moves into and creates new resource frontiers.
