Its newly discovered potential has been heralded by universities and major scientific institutions, and has been highlighted in The New York Times, The Guardian, Popular Science and The Atlantic.

According to a report by the National Academy of Sciences, this technique has the potential to remove billions of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduce ocean acidification. Known as “Coastal Carbon Capture”, Project Vesta’s method accelerates the earth’s natural carbon removal process by using a natural rock turned into carbon-removing sand. “Our partnership with Great Lakes will enable us to accelerate our research and help coastal communities fight both the cause and symptoms of climate change.” “We are committed to robustly furthering the science of Coastal Carbon Capture,” said Tom Green, CEO of Project Vesta. 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation (“Great Lakes”) (NASDAQ: GLDD), the largest provider of dredging services in the United States announced today a first-of-its-kind partnership with Project Vesta, a clean technology pioneer developing a new way to use sand to remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The abstract submission due date is July 31, 2023. If selected, presentations must be provided to the Eastern Chapter no later than 30 September 2023.HOUSTON, Sept. The presentation should be 20 minutes with time for questions. The presenter will be allowed to have a corporate logo on the slides. Presentations that focus on self-promotion, specific products, or corporate marketing will not be accepted. We want to encourage presentations that focus on dredging engineering and construction for coastal resilience, restoration, and infrastructure improvements, including dredging techniques, materials management, beneficial use of dredged materials (BUDM), and protection and enhancement of the marine environment. We want to have a topic-specific event and feel a relevant topic for this year’s event is Coastal Resilience and Dredging Restoration & Infrastructure Improvements. The Eastern Chapter Board invites presenters to submit abstracts for the 2023 Eastern Chapter Meeting to be held in Jacksonville, FL, from October 10-12, 2023.
