Our co-founders Nick Chiarelli and Tim Silverwood were fortunate to experience some close encounters of the Humpback whale kind this week!! Alongside some friends and supporters of OIO, the crew headed out with the immensely knowledgeable Scott Wilson of Blue Safaris. Experiencing the migrating humpbacks on their way back south to the nutrient-rich waters of Antarctica is always a memorable experience. Thanks for coming John, Shona, Marty, Dan, Kelly and Mitch! And amazing to see you Sheree Marris, thanks for the group shots!

Blue Carbon - one of our accelerator program cohort - have just dropped the heart-pumping trailer for their oPod 002, which is set to be starting in-water tests within weeks! Check it out below ⬇️
Our team is working hard to put the final touches on oPod 002 - because we'll be in the water within weeks, testing in real-world conditions. A huge thank you to the team - led by FRED BARRETT, and of course with guidance from Eva Chiu and Dr. Martin V. Mathew. With CEO Dr Ana Novak leading tirelessly through thick and thin, we're excited to see the first step into decarbonising aquaculture, and after that - who knows. Thanks also to Ocean Impact Organisation and EnergyLab for your belief and support for ocean motion-powered pumps. Perhaps Summer's next blockbuster won't be in theatres - but in the water #WavePower #ClimateInvest #BlueCarbon
