Each company receives $150,000 and a four-month program covering product, operations, commercialization, data science, partnerships, and fundraising.

The program also connects companies with public and commercial partners, including the Grand Bahama Port Authority, the governments of Barbados and Jamaica, and ports in San Diego, Los Angeles, and Miami-Dade County. Focus areas include coastal carbon capture, marine ecosystem restoration, island infrastructure, ocean energy, aquaculture, clean maritime transport, and software that supports those industries.
