In this case study, we highlight Ocean Non Wovens’ contribution to the Bambolim Dam Project in Goa, where we supplied and installed 2,000 SQM of Ocean Geobags (PET) to address slope protection and erosion ...
As with any large-scale coastal infrastructure project, the challenge lies not only in construction but also in ensuring long-term stability, erosion control, and environmental protection. Ocean Non Wovens, a trusted manufacturer and supplier of geosynthetics, contributed to this project by supplying 200 units of Ocean Non Woven Geobags (300 ...
In Sweden, data from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket) shows that more than 95% of textile waste is collected, facilitated by an advanced waste management system and strong public awareness. Across the ocean, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that Americans discard approximately 11.3 million tons ...
Addressing these challenges requires innovative and sustainable solutions to protect the fragile ecosystem while preserving the natural allure of the beaches. This case study highlights the contribution of Ocean Non Wovens to a critical Beach Protection Project in the Maldives, utilizing 2,500 Ocean Non Woven Geobags-450 ...
Faster currents may also affect how the ocean removes carbon and heat from the atmosphere and protects the planet from excessive global warming. The oceans are also a raw material for the production of drinking water. Desalination can only be done with water from the seas and oceans. ...
Oceanic trace gas analysis is a vital tool for understanding the complex relationship between the Earth’s oceans and its atmosphere. It focuses primarily on measuring gases besides nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, which form the bulk of our atmosphere (~99.93%), such as CO2, and their impact on ocean acidification and climate change. With the help of mass spectrometry, oceanic trace gas ...
The use of pyrolysis to recycle waste matter like plastics, rubber, and tires helps to ensure that they don’t find their way to landfills and oceans, which will help protect the planet. Folks that put money into pyrolysis plants, however, can get huge profits in the fuel oil they make. ...
In the village of Taholah, for example, which is a part of the Quinault Indian Nation in Washington, residents suffer increasingly frequent flooding due to breaches of a protective sea wall during storm events. In order to provide Indigenous communities with wave data, increased mindshare and funding is paramount, and Sofar Ocean and its strategic partners have ...

In another amazing implementation of drones for environmental protection, Oceans Unmanned and The Ocean Cleanup have joined forces to fight marine debris.Oceans Unmanned, Inc. is a non-profit dedicated to the use of drones for environmental protection: The Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit founded in 2013 to deal with ...
The Danger Posed by Warming Oceans Warming ocean water can stress fish and other aquatic animals, sometimes to the point where organismal survival is threatened. The mechanism by which this occurs is well understood. A rise in water temperature causes an increase in animal metabolism, increasing the rates of, and need for, respiration, while at the same time reducing the supply of dissolved ...
The Republic of the Seychelles even launched the first blue bond in 2018 specifically for protection of oceanic fisheries, a resource now recognized as threatened by microplastics. ...
“The Ross Sea MPA is supposed to have special protection. “People around the world who celebrated this historic ocean sanctuary will be shocked by the killing of whales within its boundaries – only the IWC can close the loophole that enables whales to be harpooned in a protected ...
This occurs when storm water and wastewater combine and overflow into the ocean. Finally, Swim to Skim celebrates the Access program by bringing people together on the Newport waterfront for shared ocean activities. ...
The resulting “knowledge gap,” say the researchers, may make it harder to achieve sustainability goals such as ocean health and biodiversity protection. They say NSF should fund more ecological contaminants research - especially research that looks at how chemical pollution might compound the effects of other stressors, such as warming temperatures, ...

Coastal salt marshes — communities of plants and animals defined by the coming and going of ocean tides — form on sediment dropped from slowing river waters and incoming tides. They provide a transition between dry land and ocean, protecting the coast from erosion, providing a home to a rich abundance of plant and animal life, ...
