Directions Website

The Seasteading Institute The Seasteading Institute works to establish permanent settlements on the ocean in order to create new nations with innovative startup governments.

At The Seasteading Institute, we believe that experiments are the source of all progress: to find something better, you have to try something new. But right now, there is no open space for experimenting with new societies. That's why we work to enable seasteading communities -- floating cities -- which will allow the next generation of pioneers to peacefully test new ideas for government. The most successful can then inspire change in governments around the world. We're opening this new frontier because humanity needs better ways to live together to unlock our full potential.

Our supporters have propelled The Seasteading Institute to our most important achievements. Thank you! 🌊

President of TSI, Joe Quirk, recently spoke at the Free Cities Conference in Prospera, Honduras, where he announced three milestones the seasteading movement has been working toward for years:

🌊 The first profitable seasteading business
🚩 The first maritime flag for seasteads
⚓ The first time a seastead floated away from a corrupt government

Each of these exists because people like you chose to back an idea that many called impossible.

Do you think it's possible to privately own rivers, lakes, or aquifers? How does property work on the ocean?

Renowned economist Dr. Walter Block challenged common assumptions about water ownership in his book, Water Capitalism, making the case that private ownership might actually be the key to protecting and managing water resources more effectively than public control does.

Carly sat down with Dr. Block for the Seasteading Today podcast to dig into these questions: Can a river be owned? Who's responsible for an aquifer that no one can see? And could the ocean itself ever be privatized?

Whether you've studied economics for years or have never taken a single class, this conversation breaks down complex property rights concepts in a way that's accessible and genuinely thought-provoking.
