Progress report for
Neptune: The New Ocean Award
Achievement at a glance
In October 2018, Ocean Exchange selected Coral Vita (Bahamas) to receive its 2018 Neptune Award. Sam Teicher of Coral Vita attended Oceans Exchange and pitched his solution in front of our delegates from business, industry, government, and NGOs. \r\n\r\nIn October 2017 we similarly awarded the Neptune Award to the Wing Trawling System (Alabama, USA) for a solution to significantly reduce fin-fish by catch during trawling for shrimp. Additionally, the operating efficiency ie less drag by the new Wing Trawler allows for significant fuel savings for the shrimp boat operators.Beneficiaries
