MISSION STATEMENT: THE STEWARD’S CALL

Guided by the principle of Stewardship, Seahorse Resiliency Command is founded not merely as a commercial venture, but as a protective dominion over the waters of Del Norte. We believe that when the land fails, the sea provides. Our mission is to ensure that the people of this community are never again isolated, ignored, or left at the mercy of a crumbling cliffside. We are “The Bridge Across The Water.”

The Marine Highway Project | Last Chance Grade

THE FOUNDING VISIONaries Seahorse Resiliency Command is built on a foundation of resilience, forged by those who understand what it means to serve under pressure:

• Jeff Dunlap, Founding Partner: Brings the discipline, tactical expertise, and "boots-on-the-ground" experience of a Firefighter and First Responder. His life has been defined by running toward the crisis while others run away. He provides the operational backbone and safety-first culture essential for maritime transport.

• Michelle Dunlap, Managing Member: A veteran of the "State system.” Despite navigating multiple disabilities, she embodies the "strength of the horse"—proving that physical limitations do not limit vision or leadership. Her journey is a testament to the fact that empowerment comes from the spirit, and she leads Seahorse Resiliency Command with the fierce protection of a grandmother securing a future for her kin.

We provide a vital link between the harbors of the Pacific Northwest. Our services include:

• Daily Water Taxiing: Reliable transit between Crescent City and Eureka.

• Private Charters: Custom vessel services for professional or personal use.

• Whale Watching Tours: Guided educational excursions to experience our local marine life.

• Emergency Preparedness:

  We are a dedicated team of maritime professionals and community advocates based in Crescent City, CA. Our expertise lies at the intersection of coastal infrastructure and community preparedness, serving as a steadfast resource for those who live and work by the sea.

• Resilience Consulting: Strategic advocacy and planning for coastal infrastructure.

THE CONCEPT: THE MARINE HIGHWAY

The current infrastructure at Last Chance Grade is a "breech" in the lifeline of our county. Seahorse Resiliency Command proposes a $1 Billion vision to bypass this failure:

• The Fleet: A specialized fleet of 50-car maritime trolleys.

• The Bypass: A reliable sea-link that renders the landslides of US 101 irrelevant to our economic survival.

• The Resilience: While the state studies the land, we will master the water. This is a "Marine Highway" that serves as both a daily utility and an emergency extraction point.

IV. OPERATIONAL PHILOSOPHY: STRENGTH & STEWARDSHIP

In accordance with Genesis 1:26, we exercise dominion to protect.

1. Safety First: Directed by first-responder protocols.

2. Accessibility: Built by and for those with disabilities, ensuring the "Highway" is inclusive of every citizen.

Independence: A local solution for a local problem—shielding our community from "State bureaucratic fraud.

• Crescent City Harbor District: We have developed a finalized brochure strategy specifically for the Harbor District board to advocate for infrastructure like platforms and dredging.

• Federal Grant Agencies: We are currently targeting federal funding sources (with key deadlines in February 2026) to support the heavy infrastructure needed for the "survival plan" against seismic issues and the Last Chance Grade failure.

• The Crescent City Community: While not a "partner" in a legal sense, the community is our primary client base for the emergency transport of cars and supplies during Highway 101 closures.
