ASPN Wins Gooderham Media Award & Engineering Carbon Negative Beaches with Project Vesta

On this special episode recorded at the 2021 ASBPA National Conference in New Orleans, Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham celebrate ASPN being awarded the Gooderham Media Award before welcoming Dr. Stephen Romaniello to the show to talk about how Project Vesta is developing a new enhanced weathering technique that has the potential to make beach renourishment projects carbon negative at little to no cost to the project. Off to a fast start with tech clients along the lines of payment processor Stripe and a partnership with Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company, Project Vesta represents a new phase in the shoreline management era, supplementing beach sand with the mineral olivine, which reacts with sea water to naturally sequester carbon. Come along for a great conversation about your beach can solve the climate crisis, only on ASPN!
