DESCRIPTION:CHEERS OCEANEERS! July 8th 2026\n\nThis month\, we have a very 
 special presenter\, our very own\, the Vice Chairman of Oceanic Engineerin
 g Society\, San Diego Chapter\, Graeme Rae! Graeme is also the CEO of Hype
 rKelp Inc. Graeme&#39;s presentation topic is:\n\nTrends in Ocean Sensing: Fro
 m Exquisite Platforms to Distributed Maritime Networks\n\nThe nature of ma
 ritime sensing is changing rapidly. Advances in low-cost sensors\, AI\, co
 mmunications\, autonomy\, and commercial manufacturing are enabling a tran
 sition from a handful of highly capable systems to large-scale networks of
  inexpensive\, intelligent sensing platforms.\n\nDrawing on recent engagem
 ents with NATO\, defense organizations\, industry\, and international tech
 nology conferences\, this talk examines the technical and operational tren
 ds shaping the next generation of ocean sensing. Topics include distribute
 d sensing\, edge AI\, autonomous systems\, persistent maritime surveillanc
 e\, and the implications of the growing emphasis on &quot;small\, cheap\, and m
 any.&quot;\n\n—\nGraeme Rae PhD\nCEO HyperKelp Inc.\nhttp://www.hyperkelp.com
 \n\n***\n\nWelcome to the monthly event for the IEEE Oceanic Engineering S
 ociety (OES)\, San Diego Chapter\, which is hosting this meeting jointly a
 long with TMA BlueTech (The Maritime Alliance)\, and MTS (Marine Technolog
 y Society).\n\nPlease join us for the main presentation and also plenty of
  time for networking and friendly conversation about everything oceanic\, 
 engineering\, science\, Blue Tech\, and more. No need to be an IEEE or OES
  member\, or TMA\, or MTS. Everyone is invited.\n\nThis month\, we will be
  at Quantum Brewing again\, a cool science-themed brewery founded by a bio
 chemist.\n\nNo ticket required\, but please order something for yourself f
