Stefan Moss is the founder of the Saltwater Underground Railroad Experience, a Google Earth project that retraces the steps of freedom seekers in the southeastern states in the early 19th century. The project follows their journey from slave plantations, coastal fortifications and maroon communities to The Bahama Islands, where they developed sustainable communities that still exist today. Inspiration for the project came from visits to numerous national and state parks in the southeast, where stories of an "Underground Railroad" going south to Florida and beyond were told. Utilizing interactive maps, peer reviewed articles and newspaper clippings, the project dives headfirst into the stories of the brave men and women who risked their lives in search of freedom, their understanding of the natural world, and use of natural resources. In 2024, the project was granted an official listing by the National Park Service Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Program.
