Commitment to ocean health informs Seas’ approach to clean energy

USACE awards Sealaska Remediation Solutions $21M contract

Most of us give little thought to the nature of the ground we’re walking on day to day. What’s it made of? Is it solid enough to build on? Is it level? Or is it at an angle that could slide?

Woocheen, the ocean-health business platform owned by Alaska Native Corporation Sealaska, has acquired a majority stake in Normarine.

The Biden-Harris Administration announced steps to expand offshore wind jobs and local economic development across the United States, including proposing the first-ever Gulf of Mexico offshore wind lease sale.

IN the midst of a global energy crisis, the escalating cost of living affects everyone. Recent events have exposed the economic fragility of existing supply lines for traditional energy sources. Those sources are at risk, and that’s compounded by the broad threat our changing climate poses around the globe.

By really listening and creating an environment where people feel it’s safe to say hard things, leaders can learn a lot, says Terry Downes, chief executive of a Seattle, Washington-based ocean health company.

Woocheen announced in October that it had plans to acquire equity in two leading Icelandic seafood companies – IceMar and AG Seafood.

Five key takeaways from the Glasgow climate talks.

A coalition of the world’s biggest investors, banks and insurers that collectively control $130 trillion in assets said on Wednesday that they were committing to use that capital to hit net zero emissions targets in their investments by 2050, in a push that would make limiting climate change a central focus of most major financial decisions for decades to come.

Offshore wind farms are about to get exponentially more popular, driving an estimated $109 billion in economic development. But the infrastructure to support them needs to be planned and built thoughtfully.

In the Atlantic, about 27 miles off the Virginia Beach coast, schools of fish congregate around what looks like a large cylinder covered in algae. Mussels glom onto the structure. Even the occasional sea turtle or giant ocean sunfish pays a visit.

Our mission is to communicate the science, policies, and human dimensions of sustainable fisheries.

Though overfishing remains a global problem, a science-driven approach has led to surprisingly sustainable practices in some countries, including the U.S.

At Vandenberg Air Force base in 2019, Air Force staff and partners were focused on cleansing groundwater that had been polluted with chlorinated hydrocarbons, runoff from solvents that were used to spray down missile engines prior to launch. But the challenge was bigger than toxins in the water. Threatened vernal pool fairy shrimp, red-legged frogs and other endemic species in a nearby stream had to be protected from both the pollutants and their treatment.
