The Blue Urban Project: Empowering Communities

---

As our community grows it is important that our local and state policies grow and progress with it. This is especially true for coastal communities which require special attention to neighboring marine ecosystems. 

 Through our collaborative research with local universities, we aim to generate actionable insights that inform public policy and empower communities to protect the blue spaces we all depend on.

Our workshops allow for the St. Pete and Tampa Bay communities to learn about sustainable living techniques and emerging technologies. 

When hurricanes threaten or strike, our community faces unique challenges. We provide essential support to vulnerable populations, focusing on coastal resilience and rapid recovery. From pre-storm preparation resources to post-storm debris removal and flood mitigation assistance, we're here to help Florida's blue communities weather the storm and rebuild stronger.

Our founders, who are also veterans, wanted to ensure that our local veterans seeking career change into the STEM community were properly supported. We do this by providing resources, networking opportunities, and other special services for unhoused veterans.
