A group of 40+ Tampa Bay business and nonprofit leaders, academics, and government representatives joined us on June 24th to discuss the NOAA Ocean-Ready Climate Resiliency Accelerator grant. Their guidance helped us to craft what we hope to be a winning proposal.
We are inviting all Tampa Bay stakeholders to continue the discussion. If your work in touches the water in any way we would like you to join us! This workshop will explore the challenges facing Tampa Bay and what our regional thought-leaders see as potential solutions. Insights shared will guide our next steps to recruit and coach the best startups in ocean technology.
