Exciting news - Sun Harbor Marina has given its support to a pilot project with ecoSPEARS and the Port of San Diego. The goal of the pilot project is to provide a launching pad for sustainable aquaculture and other blue tech ventures. The pilot project is slated to commence this Monday, December 14. You will notice a vessel with a crane deploying the equipment near the guest dock and in between A and B docks. We do not have a specific timeframe as to when the work will commen...ce on the 14th, and it may continue into the 15th. The work should not interfere with anyone who plans to leave their slip. We will be keeping an eye on the deployment in case questions or concerns arise. Some Pilot Project Background: In 2016, the Port established a Blue Economy Incubator to assist in the creation, early development, and initial scaling of new Blue Economy business ventures in San Diego Bay. The incubator is acting as a launching pad for sustainable aquaculture and Port-related blue tech ventures by removing barriers to early-stage entrepreneurs and providing key assets and support services focused on pilot project facilitation. The vision for the Blue Economy Incubator is for the Port to act as a catalyst for aquaculture and blue tech, and to build a portfolio of new businesses and partnerships that deliver multiple social, environmental, and economic benefits to the Region. As part of the Blue Economy incubator, the Port approved an agreement with ecoSPEARS for a pilot project. ecoSPEARS is the exclusive licensee of the NASA-patented SPEARS technology, which was invented by a team of NASA environmental scientists as a green remediation solution. Shaped like spikes, the ecoSPEARS in-situ technology is deployed into contaminated sediment, or around challenging or sensitive wetland areas, where dredging isn’t a feasible option such as bridges, docks, or pylons. Once settled into the sediment, the spikes act like sponges, passively absorbing chlorinated toxic contaminants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and dioxins. For the pilot demonstration, the ecoSPEARS in-situ technology will be deployed for six months to determine the efficiency of the technology for remediation of PCB-contaminated sediments, compared to baseline concentration.
