1 Capitol Hill Oceans Week June 10, 2004 John Englander, CEO

2 The International SeaKeepers Society Our unique history. Our unique history. 5 years of success. 5 years of success. The next 5 years. The next 5 years.

3 In 1998, a California developer, Al Gersten, had a bold idea: Given that the oceans are endangered, could private yacht owners develop a new monitoring system to augment existing ocean data collection?

4 If so, could a not-for-profit organization make a meaningful contribution, working with Government, Industry, academia, and other research organizations?

5 Our Mission: The International SeaKeepers Society is a nonprofit organization that actively protects the oceans by equipping luxury yachts, other vessels, and platforms around the world with sophisticated ocean and atmospheric monitoring sensors. These compact, high-tech monitors gather and transmit via satellite to the international scientific community critically-needed data on the health of the oceans, changing weather and climate patterns, sources of pollution and other threats to human life and marine resources.

6 Our 63 Founding Members include some recognizable names, for example: Paul Allen Paul Allen Alex Dreyfoos Alex Dreyfoos Jim Clark Jim Clark Steve Forbes Steve Forbes Jim & Jan Moran Jim & Jan Moran Gale Ann Hurd Gale Ann Hurd Craig McCaw Craig McCaw

7 How to fund it: Members donate a minimum of $50,000 each to SeaKeepers, a tax deductible charity. Members donate a minimum of $50,000 each to SeaKeepers, a tax deductible charity. Yacht-owning members would allow SeaKeepers to install a monitoring system. Yacht-owning members would allow SeaKeepers to install a monitoring system. The result: by the year 2000... The result: by the year 2000... 2 years and $2 million later...

16 Today we have 42 operating installations & 12 more in construction.

17 Yachts Piers Buoys Cruise Ships Merchant Ships SeaKeepers systems are installed on:

18 Prototype pier installation University of Miami, RSMAS

19 NOAA National Data Buoy Center 3-meter buoy, Bay St. Louis LA

20 Carnival Cruise Lines: 4 ships with SeaKeepers systems

21 Royal Caribbean Cruise lines “m/v Explorer of the Seas” University of Miami partnership: Ocean and Atmospheric Labs

22 Salvador Porto Alegre A SeaKeepers system was commissioned April 2003 in a Brazilian tanker, Metal Tanque IV, for service along the Brazilian coast

25 Fowey Rocks Lighthouse Biscayne National Park Chesapeake Bay Observing System Current Projects with NDBC/NOAA

26 Ferry routes for the central Mediterranean; example SNCM IFREMER, the French Oceanographic agency, is beginning a monitoring project in the Mediterranean using a SeaKeepers system on a ferry.
