ShoreLock

We spent two days in Boston with SeaAhead Coastal Resilience Pilot Showcase, pitching ShoreLock alongside some of the most focused teams working on coastal infrastructure problems right now.

The conversations are evolving. It's no longer “here’s the problem” but “here’s what it costs when we get it wrong.”

Anchored in Collaboration 🌊⚓️
Congrats to the Ocean Exchange Neptune Award winners! Every breakthrough moves us closer to an ocean future built on radical collaboration—where tech, policy, and nature work as one.

Together, we’re not just innovating—we’re engineering with nature. .exchange

Anchoring Innovation 🌊
Congrats to all the teams Talent Showcase. Every new idea brings us closer to a future where innovation and ecology move together—not apart.

When we back responsible tech, we’re not just building companies—we’re building resilience, jobs, and coastlines that last.

Now, you’re anchored in progress. ⚓️

🌊 Small Island Developing Nations are on the frontlines of climate change — but too often left behind when it comes to coastal protection.

At ShoreLock, we believe every coastline deserves defense — not just for the environment, but for the economic stability of the communities who depend on it. Tourism, fisheries, and local infrastructure all rely on healthy, resilient shorelines.

🌍 Coastal protection is not a luxury. It’s an economic lifeline.

Today marks the launch of the Ocean Rise and Coastal Resilience Coalition in Nice, France — a global movement to protect coastlines and communities. ShoreLock is proud to stand alongside innovators shaping the future of coastal defense with sustainable, nature-based solutions. As sea levels rise, it’s more important than ever to anchor in solutions that work with nature, not against it.

🌊 ShoreLock is honored to announce that we have been awarded the prestigious Waterkeeper Innovation Award! 🌊

This award highlights our dedication to providing cutting-edge, eco-friendly solutions to combat coastal erosion. As a company founded with a deep passion for preserving coastlines, this recognition from Waterkeeper Alliance reflects our ongoing mission to protect shorelines while promoting marine life health, including coral reefs and sea turtle habitats.

From our founding we’ve remained committed to creating sustainable solutions for the challenges faced by our coastlines. This award fuels our drive to continue innovating and supporting the environment with every step we take.

Thank you, Waterkeeper Alliance, for this incredible honor! Together, we can protect the future of our oceans and shorelines. 🌍💙

Severe weather events affect everyone regardless of age, but our ability to adapt to change quickly becomes more challenging as financial resources become more fixed later in life. It's the responsibility of coastal towns to consider all of the residents and put plans in place to help relocate older residents during extreme events and use all available resources to prepare for storms. This includes advancing their coastal maintenance programs to include resiliency measures with new technologies. It's high time the ACOE take the next step and provide new solutions to outdated coastal programs that aren't working.

As Sea Levels Rise, Older Americans Are Losing Their Homes — AARP The Magazine Higher sea levels aren’t coming: They’re already here. And older people are losing their homes as a result.

Bill Van Parys' recent article in Curbed hits the nail on the head stating "this is mostly a Band-Aid" when referring to the recent ACOE approach to dumping a few more yards of sand on the Fire Island coastline. Coastal maintenance is reactive, the nourishments are intended to last for decades and only last for a fraction of their planned design. We are truly at the mercy of the storms and we can't stay ahead with old methods as storms become more frequent. It's time to take a hard look at investing in pro-active solutions that help keep sand in it's place protecting our homes.

It's time coastal towns step up and demand different solutions from our Senators. I'll be on stage at Aspen Climate in Miami, March 12th discussing what's possible for our coastlines. Join us in the conversation.

With more than 50% sargassum biopolymer extract, ShoreLock helps Florida tackle two problems at once. Check out the latest post in the Miami Herald.

‘Green’ energy, plant food from Florida’s stinky seaweed? Ideas will be put to test Potential pilot projects could explore converting sargassum into building material, types of “green” fuel and even an additive that could help reduce beach erosion.

We are proud to announce that ShoreLock is one of the top 12 companies in the finals of the first Public Innovation Challenge for Miami Dade to Repurpose Sargassum for Beneficial Use!
