Baltic Seasteading

Do you live in one of the 9 countries adjacent to the Baltic Sea? Check out the new Baltic Seasteading group. Their website states:

Probably the greatest challenge of living at sea is dealing with waves, and the Baltic Sea has some of the lowest waves in the world while still big enough to contain international waters. This makes it a great place for seasteaders to start out and experiment with new structures and a new way of living.

Baltic Seasteading is a group for people interested in working actively with seasteading in its current state.

TSI Receives 501c3 Tax-Exempt Status

The Seasteading Institute is pleased to announce that it has received its Letter of Determination from the Internal Revenue Service, stating that we are exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Among the many benefits this allows, donations to us are tax-deductible (including past ones).

Misc Updates

This is sort of a mini-newsletter, since this is a busy time of year for us I wanted to give you some updates.
