| Desc | CLEAN WATERS PROGRAM: IN 2016, WE HAVE CONTINUED TO FOCUS ON THE TOXIC IMPACTS OF POLLUTANTS ON OCEANS AND INLAND WATERS. THROUGH WIDE DISTRIBUTION TO KEY INDUSTRY LEADERS, OUR PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH PAPERS ON THIS SUBJECT HAVE PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN ADVANCING UNDERSTANDING OF NON-TOXIC AND EFFECTIVE CLEANUP SYSTEMS. OUR EFFORTS HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY CONTRIBUTED TO MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGY BEING USED IN OVER 40 COUNTRIES. WE PROVIDED PUBLIC RELATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS ASSISTANCE TO INDUSTRY LEADERS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO MAJOR PETROLEUM-RELATED COMPANIES AGREEING TO USE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE TOXIC SPILL CLEANUP SYSTEMS. THIS IS HELPING TO BRING THE OIL SPILL CLEANUP INDUSTRY UP TO 21ST CENTURY STANDARDS. IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 WE WERE INVITED TO PRESENT VITAL DATA TO OIL SPILL RESPONSE SCIENTISTS, REGULATORS AND INDUSTRY MEMBERS AT THE CLEAN GULF CONFERENCE HELD IN TAMPA, FLORIDA. OUR SCIENCE AND TECH COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN PRESENTED ON AN EXTENSIVE SCIENTIFIC REVIEW DONE OF THE ALTERNATIVE OIL SPILL SOLUTION WE HAVE ADVOCATED FOR. HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL SPILLS ARE A GLOBAL ISSUE, KILLING OUR OCEANS, RIVERS, LAKES AND STREAMS AND WE CONTINUE TO PRESS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF BETTER SCIENCE IN THE U.S. ALSO A PART OF OUR OVERALL CLEAN WATERS PROGRAM IN 2016, WE RESEARCHED INTO A SCIENCE OF WATER DEVELOPED IN THE 1930'S THAT GIVES DROUGHT-PRONE REGIONS ACCESS TO ADEQUATE SUPPLIES OF FRESH WATER. WE ARE NOW WORKING WITH EXPERTS IN THIS FIELD, BUILDING A COALITION, AND DEVELOPING PROJECTS IN THE U.S., SOUTH AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST, TO MAKE THIS SCIENCE BETTER KNOWN AND UTILIZED IN AREAS HEAVILY IMPACTED BY WATER SCARCITY. IN PREPARATION FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF OUR WATER PROJECT, WE SENT TWO OF OUR STAFF TO TANZANIA FOR A MONTH TO STUDY AND HELP FORWARD THE WORK OF SIMILAR SUCCESSFUL WATER DRILLING PROJECTS BY ANOTHER NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION. | Desc |
