🌊 GMSO showed up strong at #CHOW2025 with Erin Seiler & Suzanne Garrett on the ground in DC.
From the Blue Economy to deep-sea tech, The Next Wave echoed our mission: making the ocean more accessible, when and where it’s needed.
#GMSO #OceanAccess #MarineInnovation #NextWave
#CHOW2025 keynote - we need a national subsea strategy that is backed by both Congress and the Pentagon
#CHOW2025 being able to work and live in deep ocean habitats is essential to address the issues of working and living on other planets
The innovations in ocean exploration will end up saving money and lives in space exploration
#CHOW2025 - the first 10 years of the Apollo space program gave 15x the financial benefits of its cost in inventions and technology. We need a similar program for deep ocean exploration and underwater science habitats.
#CHOW2025 - to install and crew a network of underwater research labs and facilities would cost a fraction of a fraction of what it cost to install and crew the international space station (Sean Walpert keynote)
Why we need a underwater version of Star Trek
#CHOW2025 keynote - we need to put our best and brightest ocean scientists in a network of ocean science habitats - five year missions to boldly go where non one has gone before (Sean Walpert)
#CHOW2025 keynote - we need an underwater science campus where scientists can study and work in the marine ecosystem then return to underwater laboratories.
It’s time to boldly go and conduct science where no one has gone before - the deep sea.
#CHOW2025 More than half of the sovereign territory of the US is beneath the ocean surface (Sean Walpert keynote)
Only fraction of this is even mapped, negligible amount studied in detail.
#CHOW2025 “There is no road into the deep sea. We do not need to chase other nations. We are the road”
The President of China on their planned dominance of deep sea research and occupation.
#CHOW2025 wraps up with Sean Walpert of DEEP - forget going to Mars. There should be a race to occupy the oceans. China is already planning deep sea “space stations” and underwater laboratories. US and EU will be left behind as China plans to dominate the ocean depths.
Speakers at #CHOW2025 were "gently reminded" to avoid topics and keywords the current administration might use see as "inflammatory," two staffers told me.
One of the big ones was climate change/global warming.
An ocean week that didn't address the most important ocean issue of our lifetime.

In an hour+ panel about challenges in US fisheries at #CHOW2025, climate change was only mentioned once....
....And it was mentioned as a positive.
We're in trouble.

Ooh! Talking about the #DEEP underwater habitat project at #CHOW2025 - Cousteau championed underwater habitats. But the last underwater habitat was developed in the 1980s. We have the technology to develop cutting edge underwater research facilities

Switching between #CHOW2025 and #Upwhell2025 meetings - no real mention of the governmental ocean crisis at #CHOW2025. The audience is full of recently unemployed ocean scientists axes from Federal agencies …
At #CHOW2025 -Capitol Hill Ocean Week. There are a number of massive elephants in the room such as the 60% decrease in the @NSF ocean science budget, and axing of @NOAA research programs, the Marine Mammal Commission and dissolving endangered species programs. Will they be addressed?
Attending #CHOW2025? Go see @etspencer.bsky.social present today (6/3) at 2:35-2:55pm and tomorrow (6/4) at 10:35-10:55am in the Sanctuary Cinema! They may even given you a cool poster for stopping by 👀🪸
“Gulf of Mexico Fisheries Management Council in Charge of Managing Fisheries in the Gulf of America”
This very real t-shirt sums up ocean policy right now.🥴
Thanks
@whysharksmatter.bsky.social for wearing this to #CHOW2025. We were both on stage tonight for a great @mscecolabel.bsky.social event!
