From Boston GreenScene, August 25, 2014:
"The Green Harbors Project is an initiative that is aiming to address and solve urban harbors environmental challenges that lead to habitat degradation and the loss of biodiversity, as well as human health concerns.
Spencer-based FLEXcon, a manufacturer of engineered films and adhesives, has donated materials so that the team can design and test a solution that will prevent biofouling - one of the many environmental issues the team is tackling as part of The Green Harbors Project. Fouling is the accumulation of unwanted organic material on solid submerged surfaces such as the underside of boats, pilings, nets, and other harbor infrastructure. Not only are removal costs very high, but the materials that are used (such as formaldehyde) are detrimental to the environment and humans alike.
FLEXcon's collaboration with the Green Harbors Project and the many startups, universities, and other research organizations to which it offers counsel and resources, helps bring innovative concepts like this to life."
