Maritime domain awareness pertains to security, safety, economy, environment, exploration and research. Underlying these many aspects is the effective understanding of anything associated with the global maritime domain. Evolving technologies in mapping, tracking and visualization provide many essential tools leading to effective understanding. The Maritime Alliance is pleased to partner with sponsor Esri to present one-day symposium on the importance gathering such information and the needs and challenges unique to different environments.

Organizations expected to attend and participate include US Navy METOC (meteorological and oceanographic information office), Installations and Third Fleet; US Coast Guard; Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, and San Diego; DHS; Marine Exchange of Southern California; Scripps Institution of Oceanography; SDSU VizLab; SPAWAR; first responder agencies; and private industry.

Southern California is home to numerous US Navy installations ranging from Ventura to south San Diego and three major ports. Under the leadership of Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, the U.S. Navy is leading the way within the Department of Defense with its sustainability initiative and commitment to the Greening of the Navy. Each of the main ports (Long Beach, Los Angeles, and San Diego) also has strong commitments to greater environmental stewardship. Taken together, this represents considerable opportunity, both economic and environmental.

As part of its on-going seminar series, The Maritime Alliance is planning a one day seminar on “Oceans & Weather Impacting Business and Infrastructure.” This seminar will focus on leading edge hardware, software and techniques and their usage to monitor, understand, and predict environmental and ecological changes that will impact business and coastal infrastructure over the coming decades. In addition, part of the program will include current analysis being undertaken by universities and study groups in the region that may result in recommendations to stakeholders and government.

While focused primarily on the San Diego / northern Baja, California coastal environment in the Mega-Region, the seminar and exhibitors will be relevant to coastal zones around the world and to “blue water” applications (for example, fishing, shipping, large scale floating platforms, etc.).

Participants and attendees are expected to include representatives of companies, government, military, non-profits, universities, and others interested in this important topic from Mexico, the U.S. and other countries.

The desalination industry worldwide is estimated at $10 billion and expected to triple to $30 billion by 2016, according to Global Water Intelligence.

Historically, San Diego has been one of the leading desalination R&D centers in the world, and today it comprises one of the principal sectors of the maritime technology cluster in the San Diego region. On January 28, The Maritime Alliance will host a one-day symposium on the technologies and increasingly attractive economics of this important industry. With six major desal projects underway or planned for the San Diego-Baja mega-region, looking at this important issue from a technological and business perspective makes more sense than ever

The Maritime Alliance is pleased to host the 2nd annual Maritime Business and Technology Summit & Exposition, Nov. 16-17, 2010, in San Diego, CA. The conference focus is to promote maritime technology and business opportunities in the global maritime technology industry. Because of the very large, local maritime technology community and the convergence of academia, government, industry, and military interest, San Diego represents a rich eco-system for US and international maritime technology companies.

The Conference and Exposition is an excellent opportunity for small to medium-sized companies to network with decision-makers representing academia, government, and military as well as to meet potential channel, strategic & technology partners among attendees, exhibitors and speakers. For large companies, it is an opportunity to meet companies from around the U.S. and the world showing innovative technologies that need channel and strategic partners to be successful with large opportunities.
