Seasteading is building startup communities that float on the ocean with any measure of political autonomy. For a 30-second illustration of the mechanism by which seasteads will solve political problems, check out our video: Welcome to The Seasteading Institute. You can also visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.
Seasteads are environmentally restorative, since you can’t build a permanent floating structure without providing a home for sea life. To learn more about this phenomenon, check out our short videos: Seasteading! Eco-restorative? and Seasteading! Why Not Just Live On a Boat?
The Seasteading Institute is a nonprofit organization, based in California.
