DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Seafarer Exploration Corp. (“Seafarer” or the “Company”), was incorporated on May 28, 2003 in the State of Delaware.

 

The principal business of the Company is to engage in the archaeologically-sensitive exploration, documentation, recovery, and conservation of historic shipwrecks with the objective of exploring and discovering Colonial-era shipwrecks for future generations to be able to appreciate and understand.

 

In March of 2014, Seafarer entered into a partnership with Marine Archaeology Partners, LLC (“MAP”), with the formation of Seafarer’s Quest, LLC (“SQ”) for the purpose of exploring a shipwreck site off of Melbourne Beach, Florida. Under the partnership with MAP, Seafarer is the designated manager of SQ.

 

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Blockchain LogisTech, LLC (“Blockchain”), was formed on April 4, 2018 and began operations in 2019. The Company is evaluating Blockchain’s business opportunities and does not believe that Blockchain will generate any revenues for the foreseeable future.

 

The Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Exploration Studios, LLC, in May 2018 in order to explore media strategies and opportunities. Exploration Studios, LLC has not yet commenced operations.

 

Florida Division of Historical Resources Agreements/Permits

 

The Company successfully renewed its permits for both Areas 1 and 2 for the Melbourne Beach site. The Area 1 permit was renewed on March 1, 2019 for a period of three years. The Area 2 permit was renewed on January 14, 2019 for a period of three years. Per Florida Statutes, Seafarer made a timely request for renewal of the 2019 permit for Area 2 on July 29, 2022. In January of 2022, Seafarer received notification from the Florida Division of Historical Resources (“FDHR”) that its permit for Area 2, which was set to expire on January 19, 2022, has been continued indefinitely while the renewal request was being processed. The existing permits will continue until the renewal is finalized or rejected. Per Florida Statutes, Seafarer made a timely request for renewal of the 2019 permit for Area 1 on July 29, 2021. On March 2, 2022, Seafarer received notification that the permit would continue indefinitely with the same terms as Area 2.

 

Federal Admiralty Judgment

 

Seafarer was granted, through the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, a final judgment for its federal admiralty claim on the Juno Beach shipwreck site. The Company received an updated permit from the United State Army Corp of Engineers (“USACE”).

 

Blockchain Software Services Referral Agreements

 

Management is reviewing potential alternate plans for Blockchain and believes that it is highly unlikely that Blockchain will generate any revenues for the foreseeable future, if ever.
