Algae Bloom Remediation Workshop - CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS The algae bloom debacle is affecting tourism, fishing, real estate and local economies. While algae bloom research, testing and monitoring is ongoing within the State of Florida, collaboration and open communication on fixing the existing algae bloom and HAB problems need to be addressed. National Algae Association, is the first non-profit algae association to focus on education, production and algae bloom remediation trade association in the world, made up of commercially-minded algae researchers, producers, remediation and equipment companies in the US and throughout the world, would like to extend an invitation to your organization to make a presentation or become a sponsor for our Algae Bloom Workshop we are facilitating in the week of April 22nd in the Ft. Lauderdale area. NAA has invited commercially-minded algae bloom researchers, remediation and equipment companies to discuss differences between algae blooms created by phosphorous and nitrogen as well as toxic hazardous algae blooms (HAB’s) to discuss the following subjects below to educate and address potential algae bloom remediation solutions using technologies that can be proven outside the lab, are scalable with a low CAPEX. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS - Confirmed topics to date: (We will be announcing dates and university location in Ft. Lauderdale prior to Feb. 15th) "Red Tide and Blue Green Algae Blooms: Sustainable Solutions for Agriculture, Industry, Environment, and Economy." Keith Ervin, CEO, Omega Material Sciences "Algae and Algal Toxin Mitigation/Remediation Using Ozone Infused Nano Bubbles Technology(NBOT). A Green Scalable Solution". Peter Moeller PhD., NOAA "Mobile microalgae removal barge to prevent harmful algal blooms using large-scale, plate and frame, filter press with cellulose addition." Kevin Shurtleff, Utah Valley University "A new biological approach to healthy lakes, ponds and waterways". Rick Anderson, TRM Biologics, Inc "Bloom Foam: Transforming green water into green consumer products." Ryan Hunt, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, ALGIX Open Collaboration + Innovation = Algae Bloom Remediation Implementation. Areas of discussion: 1. Differences between algae blooms and HAB’s 2. Existing Algae Bloom Testing and Monitoring 3. Commercial algae bloom technologies proven outside the lab, scalable with a low CAPEX. 4. Collaboration opportunities between algae bloom researchers and private industry. 5. Pilot tests and monitoring progress on remediation, dewatering methods 6. Potential co-products made from algae blooms. 7. Current state and federal legislation in the State of Florida 8. Funding available for remediation. Contact: barry@nationalalgaeassociation.com
