About this organization
Mission
We promote the creation of floating ocean cities as a revolutionary solution to some of the world’s most pressing problems: rising sea levels, overpopulation, poor governance, and more…
About
The Seasteading Institute is a nonprofit organization, based in California. It was founded in 2008 by activist, software engineer and political economic theorist Patri Friedman, grandson of Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman, and technology entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist Peter Thiel. Seasteading means building startup communities that float on the ocean with any measure of political autonomy. Seasteads are environmentally restorative, since you can’t build a permanent floating structure without providing a home for sea life.
