Geo SubSea attended the MRC conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia in November 2025 to learn about the fledgling offshore wind industry north of the border. We met with many local companies and learned about the status of offshore renewables. The company participated as a member of the US delegation assembled by Oceantic Network which was a nice way to get additional introductions to Canadian organizations and agencies. All in all a great trip! Halifax is a very interesting city.

Jeff Gardner was asked to participate in a live webinar hosted by the Digital Economist featuring guest speakers and experts from around the globe. The topic of the day was sustainability and the circular economy; how it can be better adopted in government policies and how innovation and implementation are driving change forward. Jeff’s group focused on these topics from the marine or oceanic perspective, including conversations about renewable energy, mariculture, zero carbon emissions, commercial material recycling, and more. A very interesting event for sure!

Jeff Gardner visited the East Haddam middle school as part of a STEM day to talk to the students about marine science and renewable energy. The visit was coordinated by Shaleen Thody and staff. Geo SubSea has been participating in educational outreach for decades and makes a point to contribute if asked. Hard to say no! We really love interacting with the students.

Jeff Motti attended the State of the Coast conference in New Orleans during the week of May 19, 2025. Per the conference name, the event is focused on coastal issues and projects along the Gulf coast that are currently shaping the regional knowledge databases and informing policies at this time. Many experts from the region attend this event which occurs every 2 years. Geo SubSea met with numerous colleagues and new connections to strengthen our presence in that area.

The Geo Subsea Team attended Oceantic Network’s International Partnering Forum (IPF) in Virginia Beach during the week of April 28, 2025. Jeff Gardner, Hallie Graves, and Gabi Byrd met with colleagues, toured the exhibit floor, and attended multiple technical sessions during the conference. Evening and late night ‘marketing’ was also performed. Always a worthwhile conference to go to.
