We’ll be there!

As the Port of Galveston grows, community and stakeholder engagements have and will continue to be a priority. In this week's column, Port Director and CEO Rodger Rees discusses why and how the port shares information and seeks public input on port projects.

"We’re a public entity, a tenant port, major regional economic driver, and one of the biggest cruise ports in the U.S. I make these points to emphasize the responsibilities and accountabilities we have to the Galveston community, our port partners and our cruise customers, to name a few."

On Oct. 1 we’ll hold a public meeting to share information and solicit public comments on our various projects. The meeting will be 5-6:30 p.m. at Cruise Terminal 16, 1602 Harborside Dr. https://lnkd.in/gbCHiMGP

Excellent approach. I’ve been suggesting using seaweed for fertilizer for years. There must be something that we can use seaweed for that’s useful.

🇲🇽 Mexico is taking a new approach to one of the Caribbean’s biggest environmental challenges by investing billions of pesos in a large-scale effort to stop sargassum before it reaches its beaches.

The new strategy includes deploying 13 specialized vessels—including 11 sargassum collection ships, an ocean-going vessel, and an amphibious collector—along with 18 smaller boats, 16 kilometers (10 miles) of floating barriers, satellite monitoring, and permanent response teams.

Rather than waiting for the seaweed to wash ashore, the ships are designed to intercept and collect it at sea, helping protect popular destinations such as Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Puerto Morelos, and Mahahual.

The project also aims to give the collected sargassum a second life by converting it into construction materials, biofuels, and other industrial products, turning an environmental problem into a valuable resource.

Officials hope the initiative will reduce the impact of record-breaking sargassum blooms while protecting the region’s beaches, marine ecosystems, and tourism industry. 🇲🇽🌊
