Want to write so others will read it? Focus on your audience! Know their needs, write with purpose, and keep it simple. Avoid jargon that could confuse them and adapt your style depending on where it’s shared—whether it’s an article, social media post, or something else. Feedback is key, so don’t shy away from it. Writing isn’t just about putting words on paper, it’s about making sure people want to read it.

A healthy Blue Economy requires that people work together. So what are we waiting for?
About us
The New England Ocean Cluster was proudly created in partnership with Þor Sigfusson, Founder and Chairman of the Iceland Ocean Cluster (IOC), headquartered in Reykjavik. Like our sister cluster, the NEOC's goal is to connect people within the ocean economy, with the goal of encouraging an innovative and sustainable approach to pursuing economic opportunity. Core to the NEOC’s efforts is the firmly held belief that new ideas must be transformational; they must inspire the development of unique products, they must improve existing services, and they must create new opportunities for exchange between communities and cultures. If we want society to look at the ocean differently and more holistically, then we must work together. This is the ‘rising tide’ mentality and a fundamental tenet of the New England Ocean Cluster. MISSION To create a platform that facilitates progressive innovation within the ocean economy by connecting a diverse community of people, businesses and entrepreneurs. VISION Our vision is of an ocean-focused society where collaboration has led to a healthy marriage between economy and sustainability.

Amazing coverage and story telling that explores the intersection of innovation, entrepreneurship, and seaweed. Katie Weiler, founder of Viable Gear, is at the leading edge of this work here in Maine and this startup deserves all the 👏👏👏 it has been getting. Thanks to Galen Koch and the Island Institute for sharing.
Could seaweed be the game-changer in the fight against plastic pollution in our oceans and food systems? Katie Weiler, founder of Viable Gear, is on a mission to find out. She's researching and developing seaweed-based plastic alternatives for fishing and aquaculture gear, collaborating with entrepreneurs like Deer Isle Oyster Company to move toward a future far less reliant on petroleum-based plastics. Hear about their journey and the groundbreaking potential of these new materials in the most recent episode of Island Institute's podcast, From the Sea Up. Listen here: https://bit.ly/4f79oMX 🎙️: Galen Koch 📷: Nicole Wolf This podcast is made possible by the Fund for Maine Islands and a partnership between Island Institute, College of the Atlantic, Maine Sea Grant, and The First Coast.

We're pleased to share an upcoming learning journey being hosted by Glenn Page (COBALT), Zack Anchors (Portland Paddle), and Leah Day (Lighthouse Cycles). The 6 day itinerary involves 3 days of paddling and three days of biking on, around, and through the Casco Bay watershed in an immersive way to learn about community response to ecosystem change. We encourage anyone who is part of organizations committed to coastal conservation, resilience and adaptation to take a deeper look and consider participating!

👏👏👏 What a weekend! The region's aquaculture community was out in force for the Maine Oyster Festival. Inspirational to see all the people and companies building this industry.
I love the aquaculture community. Some of the best peeps making great things happen. Epic shucking contest. Amazing, innovative, disruptive, electric workboat concept developed by a collection of collaborative New England Ocean Cluster friends on display. The Maine Oyster Festival may have been a big event in a small town tucked up here in northeastern-most corner of the US, but for sure these people are having a global impact. I am thankful to be in their company and in position to support.
