PierSight is building a constellation of all-weather monitoring satellites designed specifically for observing the oceans in any light and weather condition. Their radar-equipped mini satellites can detect "dark" ships and track oil spills to help coastal nations enforce laws, respond to disasters faster, and protect marine ecosystems. In 2024, they launched "Varuna", India's first private SAR +AIS tech demo satellite, a game-changer for visibility across large ocean Exclusive Economic Zones.

Carolina Ocean Alliance organized The Hope Summit 2024 in South Carolina: a two-day conference and film festival focused on community-driven solutions for ocean and water health.
