Ocean Tech Expo
Keeping the Coast Clear
Meeting the Growing Challenges to the Health and Security of the Coastal Oceans

 OTE will bring together a broad range of regional, national and international experts, opinion leaders and stakeholders to present a real-world perspective on the growing challenges that are being faced in protecting, monitoring, maintaining and restoring the health of the world’s coastal ocean ecosystems. The conference will provide an opportunity for government, academic and industry delegates to directly interact and to explore new approaches, concepts and technologies that might be applied to these challenges.  The scientific, economic and technological aspects  of coastal ocean health and safety will all be addressed.

OTE will include a variety of specifically focused Panel Discussions on issues such as:

●    The impact of new offshore energy projects on our coastal oceans, including the Arctic.  
●    The need to fully survey the coastal oceans to better understand and evaluate environmental  changes
●    The increasing use of autonomous and remote platforms for continuous environmental monitoring
●     Emerging requirements for more capable, automated environmental sensors and instrumentation
●     Improving the availability of real-time coastal ocean environmental data to end-users
●    New concepts in ocean emergency response and salvage in the coastal oceans
●    Finding innovative solutions to mounting coastal safety and security issues
●     Ways to better understand and cooperate on critical international ecosystem health issues  
●     “New Product Spotlight” session featuring new technologies for coastal monitoring &  remediation  

As in the past, the Newport Yachting Center will again provide a relaxed and user-friendly venue for the participating ocean industry technologists to discuss and demonstrate their product and service offerings with technology end-users, both on and in the water, throughout the 3-day event.  The OTE schedule is always purposely structured to allow for numerous networking and discussion opportunities.
