We invested in @CoralVitaReefs @Manolinaqua @navierboat Flux Marine @TeamHullbot @shipinsystems @BlueOceanGear_ and some others as a gateway to translating the Ocean as a massive market to make money and do good. :)
Thank you, @SeaAhead and @GulfBlueLLC Navigator! Excited for Demo Day next week.
Here are two soon-to-be graduates from @GulfBlueLLC Navigator making waves in #Mississippi:
@BlueOceanGear_ : A smart buoy for real-time tracking and monitoring of deployed fishing gear
@SeatrecInc: A first-ever profiling float with an ocean-powered energy harvesting system
The Blue Ocean Gear team had a blast at the Bodega Bay Fishermen's Festival this past weekend! The Boat Parade and Blessing of the Fleet plus meeting everyone at the Festival highlighted the wonderful community that we're a part of.

Our CEO @K_Opshaug presenting Blue Ocean Gear's Smart Buoy technology to prevent #ghostgear at the Ghost Gear Workshop in Bangkok sponsored by @UNEP_COBSEA and @ejfoundation
2nd day at our regional ghost gear workshop. Lots of important conversations on ghost gear pollution retrieval, monitoring, and prevention. Inspired that so many participants are exchanging ideas and contact info #cleanseas #ALDFG #OceanDecade #wastemanagement #marinelitter
@BlueOceanGear_ is proud to be represented at the Ghost Gear Workshop hosted by @UNEP_COBSEA and @ejfoundation . This is an important region to address #ghostgear, and we're glad to be a part of the conversation around solutions.

Great to open the @ejfoundation and @UNEP_AsiaPac #cobsea Untangled: Regional Workshop on Ghost Gear in the East Asian Seas. Made possible thanks to funding from Fisheries and Oceans Canada #ghostgears #canadafund #plasticpollution
How can Smart Buoys help with offshore wind? Come to Startup Alley at #IPFconf to find out!
Congrats to the companies who have been selected to present at Startup Alley at #IPFconf!

Proud to be a part of the efforts to reduce #ghostgear in Vanuatu with the @GGGInitiative, where Smart Buoys are part of an effort to track Fishing Aggregate Devices if and when they break apart.
#sustainablefishing #innovation #ocean #SDG14
This week, we are excited to gather in person for the first time since 2018 w/ our partners @DugongProject @CLS_Group @BlueOceanGear_ Natural Resources Consultants and Vanuatu Environmental Science Society to discuss progress in preventing and removing #ghostgear in Vanuatu.
Kelp farms are an amazing way to grow nutrient-rich food and sequester CO2. We're proud to be working with Noble Ocean Farms to help keep track of their arrays, while providing sea surface temp too!

Technology can help #Alaska fishers with observed changes in #salmon & crab #fisheries. Read about @BlueOceanGear_ smart buoys to monitor ocean conditions, @saildrone that circumnavigate Antarctica & @SNTechUK lights to avoid bycatch on #pollock vessels.

Last week marked the launch of the @_GulfBlue_Navigator’s first cohort! It was a blast to welcome @BlueOceanGear_, Marauder Robotics, Seatrac, @BeeXSG, @SNTechUK, and @SeatrecInc to the #GulfCoast.

We're headed to the Mississippi Gulf Coast! Excited to have been selected as part of the inaugural class of the Gulf Blue Navigator Program. Looking forward to working with the great local #bluetech community and getting more buoys in the Gulf of Mexico! usm.edu/news/2022/release/gu…
New estimates on the staggering amount of fishing gear lost to the oceans each year have been released. At Blue Ocean Gear, we're focused preventing gear from becoming lost at the source with our Smart Buoy technology.

Did you know that hurricane season can wreak havoc with aquaculture gear? Oyster cages can be dragged onto the beach where the oysters will die, if not found and re-submerged quickly. Enter Smart Buoys! (Photos courtesy of Mike Arguelles ) #aquaculture #blueeconomy #bluetech
Rip Carlton, one of the stars of the recent season of @DeadliestCatch, hauls a Blue Ocean Gear Smart Buoy in the Bering Sea. This tech allows him to track his gear, even in harsh conditions. Less time searching means less fuel wasted!

Many people don't realize the devastating impacts of #ghostgear in our oceans and fishery stocks. Preventing gear from being lost with tech like Smart Buoys helps the fishing industry as well as marine ecosystems.
#SDG14 #sustainableseafood
“When [gear is] lost, it continues to do what it was designed to do... it captures marine life... & we know that it has negative impacts on fishers. One study found that an up to 30% decline in some fish stocks can be attributed to #ghostgear” -@MadBlack13
