What does it take to move Blue Tech innovation from research to commercialization and market?

In Panel 4 of the upcoming 2026 SFRPC and TCRPC Joint Regional Conference, “Blue Tech Jobs: Policy, Investment, and Workforce Development in Southeast Florida,” leaders from research, entrepreneurship, investment, and innovation will explore university research, commercialization pathways, demonstration projects, corporate partnerships, funding, venture capital, and what it takes to bring Blue Tech technologies to market.

Levan | NSU Broward Center of Innovation; Daniel Kleinman, Founder and CEO of Seaworthy Collective; Mark Volchek, Principal and Founding Partner of Las Olas Venture Capital; and Steven Vollmer, PhD, Director of the School of Environmental, Coastal, and Ocean Sustainability at Florida Atlantic University.

🌊 What a beautiful evening at Madeira Beach.

Last Saturday we had the privilege of attending Resilient by Nature — a sunset community event presented by Seaworthy Collective and hosted by Water Warrior Alliance — and it was exactly our kind of night. 🌅

Beach cleanup. Community connection. Sunset pilates on the shore. And a room — well, a beach — full of people who genuinely care about building stronger communities and a healthier planet.

This is the kind of event that reminds us why we do what we do. A resilient planet starts with a resilient community. And a resilient community shows up for each other and for the ocean. 🦈

Thank you to Seaworthy Collective and Water Warrior Alliance for bringing people together around what matters. We are proud to be part of this community. 🖤

Skyway Beach Cleanup for International Coastal Cleanup Day 🐚

Together, 43 amazing volunteers came together to make a difference, removing 225 pounds of trash from Skyway Beach!

A huge thank you to our incredible partners Keep Pinellas Beautiful, Rethink Energy Florida, The Seaworthy Collective, Remora, and the St. Pete Eco Club for helping make this cleanup possible.

Every piece of trash removed is a step toward a cleaner, healthier coastline. Thank you to everyone who showed up and gave back to our community! Photos: https://join.photocircleapp.com/A94XDYQ22E

Most of his peers wanted to build for space. Daniel Kleinman went the other way, diving into the Earth instead.

The mechanical engineer founded Seaworthy Collective, a Miami nonprofit that has helped 111 entrepreneurs across 57 startups turn ocean ideas into companies, in a sector that receives less than 1% of global venture capital and philanthropy.

If you could back one overlooked frontier, would it be the one everyone is racing toward, or the one almost no one is funding?

September 19th is globally recognized as International Coastal Cleanup Day. Each year, the Ocean Conservancy hosts a worldwide cleanup day in order to count the amount of debris collected around the world and identify trends and patterns of pollution.

If you are able to, please go out and volunteer this weekend to help pick up coastal debris and support the worldwide data collection! This is a great way to become more involved in our community and meet fellow passionate people! We wanted to highlight a couple of cleanups around Pinellas County, but there are cleanups everywhere, so please find one near you!!

Even if you are unable to volunteer at an organized event, pick up some trash on your evening walk or catch a rogue bag in the grocery store parking lot. Every effort helps! Remember to take a moment and enjoy the beauty of our environment and spread the good word of conservation!

Pasco County has declared September 19, 2026 as Keep Pasco Beautiful Cleanup Day! Thanks to you all in 2025, we had more than 1,170 volunteers that collected 51,320 pounds of trash across 52 locations.

This year, we’re excited to partner with Seaworthy Collective as our Presenting Sponsor. They are helping passionate people build real solutions for the communities, industries and ecosystems that depend on the Gulf. Their Coastal Innovation Studio Prep Program is for people in Tampa Bay interested in ocean entrepreneurship and building solutions that strengthen coastal resilience. Go check out the amazing work they are doing, and see that everyone can contribute to solutions making positive change for our blue planet.
