AltaSea’s Blue Hour connects science, culture and community by cultivating immersive experiences through multi-disciplinary arts. From global to local, creators and innovators chronicle the vision of a Blue Economy, telling the stories of the ocean, the humanity of those devoted to its preservation and future. Blue Hour supports AltaSea’s Project Blue, which offers students a voice in supporting LA as the center of the Blue Economy through education, career opportunity, access to access to arts and culture.

This year’s Blue Hour Guest Curator is American interdisciplinary artist, Kim Abeles whose artworks explore the environment, biography, geography and feminism. Kim has curated an exhibition featuring installations, ceramics, video, glass, photography, sound, and painting by over 20 artists. Below is a sneak peak of 4 artists work this year.

Blue Hour: Above and Below will celebrate both local and global trailblazers who are paving the path for innovation in the blue economy, as well as feature over 20 local and global artists. The event will take place on October 14, with doors opening at 5 PM for the art gallery and the awards ceremony starting at 7 PM.

The Host Committee for AltaSea’s fourth annual Blue Hour includes former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger; renowned ocean explorers Sylvia Earle, Dr. Bob Ballard, and Ashlan and Phillippe Cousteau; and nonprofit leader Barbara Stanton.

In line with this year’s theme of “Women Stewarding the Ocean”, AltaSea will recognize four women who have made remarkable contributions to the blue economy:

Explorer Award: Kim Butts, Avatar Alliance Foundation
Innovation Award: Inna Braverman, founder & CEO of Eco Wave Power
NextGen Award: Dr. Patricia Ramos, Dean of Academic Affairs at Santa Monica College
Cornerstone Award: Camilla Townsend, AltaSea Founding Chair

The world is here; here is the world. 🌎

On Monday, September 4th, the City of Los Angeles celebrates its 242nd birthday. Every year at LA2050, we mark the occasion by publishing an original e-book.

This year’s book is entitled: “Global Ideas For A Better LA.”

The book features the words of two dozen diplomats from the LA-based consular corps community, and leaders from the LA social impact community.

The group shares with us concepts from home that they think might translate well into the fabric of LA and international ideas that are already in place here.

They also share their best birthday wishes to the people of the city.

AltaSea is honored to be mentioned in this wonderful e-book!

Wave energy can produce much more energy than wind power, with much less space, why aren’t we using it more?

According to the United Nations, 60 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions come directly from the way that we currently produce our electricity.

Wind and solar are increasing in popularity but as global demand rises, innovation is needed to improve clean energy production.

71 per cent of the earth is covered in water yet only around 1.5 per cent of the global energy is produced through wave power.

Here’s a look at the draft San Pedro waterfront connectivity plan (Urbanize Los Angeles)

Eight months and six public meetings later, the draft San Pedro waterfront connectivity plan has hit the streets.

In January, the Port of Los Angeles announced that it had hired landscape architecture firm SWA Group to develop the plan, which aims to better connect the waterfront with neighboring Downtown San Pedro. Among other issues, the makes recommendations on including pedestrian and vehicular circulation, public transportation, and open space.

Here’s why 6,000 octopuses like to be under the sea at an ‘octopus garden’ (NPR)

Off the coast of California is an unusual “octopus garden” — the largest congregation of deep-sea octopuses ever discovered on Earth, where over 6,000 octopuses huddle around an extinct underwater volcano in the black, cold ocean depths, almost two miles below the surface.

Most are brooding females that spend their days doing nothing but guarding nests full of eggs, a tedious task which can take nearly two years. It would take even longer if not for the warm water seeping from the seafloor that speeds up the growth of their babies, according to new research that suggests this natural incubator is why octopuses gather there in such huge numbers.

A New Ocean Preserve Could Save the Waters Off Baja—And This Stunning Marine Life (Time)

It’s easy to spot the small, family-owned fishing boats that ply the waters around Baja California—a peninsula 1,223 km (760 miles) long that represents the westernmost part of Mexico. There are 24,000 of the vessels, after all, and they spend much of their time at sea—as well they might if the so-called artisanal fishermen are going to compete with the vastly larger industrial vessels that fish the same waters. The average artisanal boat measures 24 m (79 ft.) from bow to stern, compared with the industrial vessels, which can easily exceed the length of a football field, at 130 m (427 ft.). And the industrial vessels are equipped accordingly—with nets that measure 600 m (1,968 ft.) across, and baited lines that may stretch 45 km (28 miles) long.

David Gruber began his almost impossibly varied career studying bluestriped grunt fish off the coast of Belize. He was an undergraduate, and his job was to track the fish at night. He navigated by the stars and slept in a tent on the beach. “It was a dream,” he recalled recently. “I didn’t know what I was doing, but I was performing what I thought a marine biologist would do.”

Gruber went on to work in Guyana, mapping forest plots, and in Florida, calculating how much water it would take to restore the Everglades. He wrote a Ph.D. thesis on carbon cycling in the oceans and became a professor of biology at the City University of New York. Along the way, he got interested in green fluorescent proteins, which are naturally synthesized by jellyfish but, with a little gene editing, can be produced by almost any living thing, including humans.

To predict future sea level rise, we need accurate maps of the world’s most remote fjords (Phys.Org)

Understanding how glaciers interact with the ocean is akin to piecing together a colossal jigsaw puzzle. And on various icebreaker expeditions to some of the most remote fjords in northern Greenland, colleagues and I have showed that the shape of the seafloor is one of the key pieces of that puzzle.

To understand why the seabed is so important, we have to look at the glaciers themselves and what is causing them to retreat or even disappear. The large glaciers that meet the ocean in Greenland and Antarctica balance their mass over time largely in pace with the climate. When it snows or rains they accumulate ice, and they lose ice to melting and calving—the process where chunks of ice break off and eventually melt away into the sea.

‘Possible, but still far away’: Offshore wind farms and aquaculture may one day go hand-in-hand (Global Seafood Alliance)

In July, Chinese firm Mingyang Smart Energy announced the completion of a wind turbine foundation containing a net cage for fish farming. The structure also comes with remote functions such as automated feeding, monitoring, detection and harvesting, and is due to be installed off Guangdong province. Annual production is estimated at around 75 tons of fish.

This announcement is the latest in a series of initiatives to bring together aquaculture and offshore wind farms. North Sea Farmers, a Dutch foundation that is working to develop and strengthen the seaweed industry, is aiming to establish a large-scale seaweed cultivation system within wind farms in the Dutch North Sea.

Port to Build Landmark Maritime Innovation Center (Port of Seattle)

The Port of Seattle Commission approved $32,600,000 to achieve a long-standing goal of transforming the historic Ship Supply Building at Fishermen’s Terminal (FT), one of the oldest existing Port facilities, into a new globally recognized home for maritime innovation.

The Port will build the Maritime Innovation Center (MInC) to reach new cutting-edge, Living Building Challenge (LBC) certifications. With only three currently certified Living Buildings in Seattle today, the Port seeks this goal to reach its own sustainability objectives, attract the attention of global industry leaders to Puget Sound, and demonstrate the connection between innovative technologies and the maritime industry.

NOAA Fisheries Releases National Seafood Strategy (NOAA Fisheries)

NOAA Fisheries has released its first-ever National Seafood Strategy (PDF, 8 pages) after several rounds of stakeholder input and a public comment period earlier this year. The strategy underscores NOAA’s strong commitment to seafood sector resilience and aligns with the Biden-Harris Administration’s goals for economic recovery, environmental sustainability, and climate resilience. Further, the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health points to the need for increased seafood consumption in the United States, which this strategy aims to address.

The strategy also responds to the unprecedented challenges facing the U.S. seafood industry, including climate change, the coronavirus pandemic, new technologies and other ocean uses, significant labor shortages, and aging infrastructure.

Carbon in the Oceans Is Altering the Micro-Fabric of Life (Scientific America)

When the waters south of Miami turned Jacuzzi hot this summer, topping out at 101.1 degrees Fahrenheit in Manatee Bay, scientists agonized over the impact on parrotfish, grunts, spiny lobsters and coral reefs. But what about the invisible world of the ocean’s microbiome that we can’t see—one of bacteria, fungi, algae and viruses?

Before you say “ewww,” you should know that these tiny creatures, which on Earth number more than stars in the universe, connect all life on our planet.

One Man’s Quest to Heal the Oceans—And Maybe Save the World (Time)

Enric Sala—marine ecologist, conservationist, and ocean advocate—is standing under a life-size replica of a Northern Atlantic Right Whale at the natural history museum in Washington, D.C., and the air outside is smudged with wildfire smoke drifting down from Canada. It’s not surprising that Sala wants to talk about the smoke, or about whales. Their poop, however, is an unexpected twist. According to Sala, whale excrement, or, more precisely, the lack of it, has a role to play in the choking miasma that has forced my interview with one of the world’s foremost ocean explorers indoors instead of out on a boat.

Climate Report Card Says Countries Are Trying, but Urgently Need Improvement (The New York Times)

Eight years after world leaders approved a landmark agreement in Paris to fight climate change, countries have made only limited progress in staving off the most dangerous effects of global warming, according to the first official report card on the global climate treaty.

Many of the worst-case climate change scenarios that were much feared in the early 2010s look far less likely today, the report said. The authors partly credit the 2015 Paris Agreement, under which, for the first time, almost every country agreed to submit a voluntary plan to curb its own planet-warming emissions. Since then, the rise in global greenhouse gases has notably slowed.

Yet those efforts still aren’t enough to avoid calamity, according to the report, which was written by representatives from the United States and South Africa and based on contributions from hundreds of governments, scientists and civil society groups from around the world.
