We are excited to announce that applications for The Continuum Ocean Enterprise Studio & Incubator are now open!

This year, the Studio and Incubator will exclusively support US-based startups developing ocean data technologies and services, in alignment with the priorities of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ocean Enterprise Initiative. This is a result of Seaworthy’s expanded role in its $14 million NOAA partnership, The Continuum, a coordinated network of ocean enterprise accelerators that fast-tracks startups getting to market by making support for BlueTech solutions more scalable, efficient, and interconnected. The Continuum partners include Braid Theory, Ocean Exchange, Seaworthy Collective, St. Pete Innovation District, Tampa Bay Wave, World Ocean Council, and the University of South Florida.

The deadline to apply is June 26, 2025.

Tamara and Angela talk about Seaworthy Collective’s new platform The Shoreline!

Reminder: The Continuum is seeking marketing and communications partners to develop and
execute a comprehensive marketing strategy to introduce partners in the ocean
enterprise to The Continuum and its services, as well as to facilitate the recruitment of
start-ups, mentors, and investors. We welcome proposals from agencies providing either comprehensive marketing services, or specialized expertise in specific service areas listed below.

Agencies may submit proposals for individual service categories where they excel, and we will evaluate submissions based on the scope proposed.

We are excited to begin featuring our 2025 board members every Friday. Today, we are featuring Andrew Quarrie, one of our new members.

Andrew is a Jamaican-born CEO/Founder of URBLANDIA - a needs analysis platform for real estate development.

He is also the creator/host of the Urbanism Summit, a conference and event series held annually since 2016, which was designed to cultivate transformative ideas for real estate development and new urbanism - a mindset shift towards building with an emphasis on people and planet - focusing on the future of cities, their makers, and dwellers.

Over a decade as a multifaceted creative, his marketing consulting career involved projects spanning both regional companies throughout South Florida and multi-national brands. Additionally, he now mostly pours his energy into community building initiatives and hosting his widely distributed podcast - also titled “URBLANDIA” - (focused on social impact entrepreneurship within the context of localization and urban development).

Andrew also volunteered as a board member of The Fairchild Palms, supporting the environmental conservation initiatives of The Fairchild Challenge - a program of the world-renowned Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. He also supported the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens as a member of their Tech Advisory Committee. He is an appointed member of the WLRN Community Advisory Board (CAB), whose mission “is to serve the South Florida Community, the WLRN audiences and WLRN management as an independent and diverse group of listeners, viewers, and supporters, committed to enhancing public broadcasting.” He is a Climate Reality Leader, certified by The Climate Reality Project.

We invite you to join our dynamic community on The Shoreline! Link in the bio!

The Shoreline is a digital platform designed to support current and aspiring BlueTech entrepreneurs. Using ecosystem mapping, AI, and regenerative frameworks, it connects them with tailored industry insights, resources, and curated network connections. The Shoreline provides foundational infrastructure for the future of Seaworthy startup support and collaboration, enabling diverse stakeholders to connect with the BlueTech ecosystem.

“By listening to the needs of the founders in our community, we’ve learned that they don’t need a litany of formal programs with time-intensive commitments and limited acceptance rates to maintain progress; they just need access to components of these programs that help them build traction and connect with mentors, collaborators, customers, funders and community. Working in parallel with our flagship Startup Studio & Incubator, The Shoreline fills a critical gap helping all stages of founders access the BlueTech ecosystem and support. It also embodies our mission of making BlueTech accessible and inclusive,” said Daniel Kleinman, Founder and CEO, Seaworthy Collective.
