Great Lakes’ senior vice president, Bill Hanson, said, “This partnership will help make Great Lakes a more effective participant in the effort to address coastal erosion and climate change impacts. Great Lakes is the first member of the global dredging industry to join Project Vesta’s initiative that is recognized by universities and major scientific institutions, and has been highlighted in some famous newspapers as well as magazines. Per the National Academy of Sciences’ report, this new sustainability approach has the potential of removing billions of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reducing ocean acidification. It uses a natural rock, turned into carbon-removing sand, to accelerate the earth’s natural carbon removal process. Project Vesta is a clean technology startup that is inventing ways to use sand to remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In an effort to address coastal erosion and climate change impacts, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation GLDD has teamed up with Project Vesta.
