SUMMARY:AltaSea Open House: ReUp Our Ocean
DESCRIPTION:ReUp Our Ocean campaign is turning plastic pollution into surfboard fins and other upcycled sustainable products.\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Saturday 31\, 2026\, for an exciting Open House event at AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles!\nJoin us for AltaSea’s first Open House of 2026\, centered on the power of recycling and ocean stewardship through the ReUp Campaign. This special edition will feature Ryan Harris\, surfboard shaper and sustainability innovator\, who is transforming trash collected from the ocean into functional surfboard fins for boards he upcycles. \nLearn how Ryan’s hands-on approach turns waste he encounters while surfing into high-performance surf components—demonstrating how recycling and creative reuse can directly protect our ocean playground. This event highlights practical solutions\, circular design\, and the role individuals and communities can play in reducing marine debris. \nWhether you’re an ocean advocate\, student\, educator\, or curious about recycling innovation\, this open house offers an inspiring look at trash reimagined. \nRyan Harris grew up in Oregon where surfing required dedication fueled by passion. When he moved to Southern California\, he fell in love with the sacred craft of board shaping\, a natural extension of his artistic background. While working in a traditional poly glass shop\, he met Rey Banatao from Entropy Bio Resins. Rey opened Ryan’s eyes to greener methods of making surfboards. Within a year Ryan was one of the leaders of green board building. \nIn early 2018 Ry launched the Zero Waste Initiative\, another industry first. Just like the Surfboard Industry the Zero Waste system is constantly evolving and he looks forward to the growing list of upcycled sustainable products we can make in it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n33 billion pounds of plastic trash ends up in our ocean every year! That’s two garbage truck loads full\, every minute. \nRyan developed a way to #upcycle one of the worst and most widely spread single use plastics that is littering our beaches and oceans: plastic straws!!!! (And other Ocean Bound Plastic trash and plastic trash I’ve fished out of the ocean) \nIt’s a game changer. \n  \n\nRSVP HERE

SUMMARY:Open House: Towards a Carbon-Free Future from Ocean to Atmosphere
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to AltaSea to learn about how innovative technologies from the TRACER Project to Captura aim to achieve climate goals \n\n\nCome join us on Saturday August 17\, 2024 at 10:00 AM for an exciting event at AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles\n\nAltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles is a leader in the Blue Economy that strives towards sustainable and responsible use of ocean resources to promote economic growth\, improve livelihoods\, and ensure the health of ocean ecosystems to address environmental and social challenges within our communities. \nFeatured Speakers\nErika La Plante is an Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California\, Davis. She obtained her Ph.D. in Earth and Environmental Sciences with a focus in Geochemistry at the University of Illinois at Chicago and her B.S. in Geology from the University of the Philippines. Erika’s research focuses on building materials\, critical metal extraction\, and carbon dioxide removal. \nWill be presenting on TRACER: Electrochemical Removal of Carbon Dioxide from Oceanwater: Field Validation \nThe TRACER team plans to develop a transformative electrolytic carbon dioxide removal approach that employs the ocean-air equilibrium of CO2 and the enormous abundance of alkaline cations in seawater. These attributes are leveraged during a continuous process to permanently lock CO2 within stable carbonates and hydroxides\, and/or as aqueous bicarbonates/carbonates. The team’s proposed strategy will have the potential for implementation at a global scale and will be capable of much higher rates of carbon mineralization and CO2 removal than existing negative emissions technologies. The approach can be performed cost-effectively and is not dependent on the creation of supportive policy and de-risking because it ensures permanence of CO2 storage. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nÉowyn Lucas\nSr. Membrane and Electrodialysis Engineer\nÉowyn Lucas has a Ph.D. in Materials Science from Caltech\, where she focused on developing bipolar membranes for electrodialysis under the guidance of Captura’s co-founders\, Harry Atwater and CX Xiang. As a Senior Membrane and Electrodialysis Engineer at Captura\, she plays a key role in advancing and scaling the company’s proprietary membrane and electrodialysis technologies. \nCaptura began with a question: how can we heal the climate at scale and without compromise?\nBorn out of the California Institute of Technology\, the development of Captura was guided by strict standards of research\, testing and evidence. Our team studied the natural cycles of the ocean to design an effective\, scalable solution that is ready to remove significant quantities of carbon emissions from the upper ocean and atmosphere. The result is an elegant process designed for optimal environmental protection — Direct Ocean Capture that simply boosts natural processes and leaves no chemicals behind. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nJoined by our neighbors from SBCC in Watts and Wilmington and their Breathe Initiative Program participants \nSBCC is a social change community agency. SBCC believes that change comes from within; and that to change the narrative\, we must seize opportunities and environments where communities can demand equity. That means giving people true hope through tools and resources that work. We reject solutions that prioritize traditional social services. Instead\, we choose innovative neighborhood ventures\, resiliency\, and diversity that focus on the collective gifts and talents of the individual member so of the community. \nDelve into science\, technology\, engineering\, business and the ocean \nThis is a great opportunity for students of all ages to learn about ocean based careers that turn to the ocean to develop solutions for some of the planet’s most pressing challenges\, such as climate change\, energy supply\, and global food security. \nOur local ocean-focused and community based organizations will be available for guests to speak with \nOn-Site Exhibiting Partners \nAltaSea Ocean STEM \nBlue Wave Volunteers Program \nCaptura \nEquatic \nOcean Career Pathways Program \nLAPD Maritime Operations \n  \n\n\n\n\nExhibiting Partners \nDiveNet \nCitizen’s Climate Lobby \nHydrogen Sushi Wagon \nLos Angeles Maritime Institute \nPacific Battleship Center \nIf you are interested in Exhibiting please fill out the Open House Registration form: \nOpen House Registration Form \n\n\n\n\nIf you would like to start volunteering for AltaSea you can register for this Open House and other education and community engagement events by going to our: Volunteer Opportunities
