Blue Ocean Sciences LLC The BOSLLC mission is to address the needs of the global community for advanced and fresh approaches to solving large-scale ocean health challenges.A non-traditional multi-disciplinary approach. Bringing together eminent experts, BOSLLC uses advanced system communications to combine the latest in knowledge, technology, and validated scientific information to find solutions to today’s biggest environmental problems. Global Need:Ocean pollution is one of the most ubiquitous and persistent problems in today’s world. From governments to individuals worldwide, many do not comprehend the vast scope of this multifaceted issue, which spans from environmental toxins, radiation, nano-particles, heavy metals, and fine mineral deposits that impact the world’s carbon-cycling systems to our food resources and the very air we breath. Many of today’s largest ocean pollution problems are a significant and solvable environmental issue, yet research has not been able to keep up with the magnitude of the crisis. The approach we are currently taking is not working at the speed we need to make a difference in the ocean for our survival. Fresh, Innovative, Advanced Approach to Solving Large Scale Ocean Health Challenges. Using a partnership approach BOSLLC creates environments where a true multi-disciplinary collaboration can take place between scientists, industry, organizations and government. Using the best tools and people available, this talented team of individuals from diverse backgrounds seeks out the right questions and works together to create solutions and answers. Origin and Focus:Together this team has explored over 6000 nautical miles of critical ocean environments. It is through these experiences that BOSLLC was formed to create impactful teams and tools to find solutions to the ocean health issues. These include new technology development, media, and consulting services.

Effects of Plastic Pollution on Oceanic Environments, Educational Outreach, and Communication Networking with Government and Non Government Organization.▪ Primary Director for worldwide campaign on toxins in oceanic environments with emphasis on PBDE contamination. These campaigns include: education outreach efforts, communication and participation in local government planning of legislation on plastics, state wide participation with the Clean Seas Coalition and government agencies and development of national and world wide campaigns. www.toxicflameretardants.org▪ Scientific Information Officer including production of literature Reviews on the effects of plastics in the oceanic ecosystems as well on their impact on human health.▪ Primary Director for the development of the Santa Barbara County portion of the statewide campaign called A Day Without A Bag. ▪ Development Officer for environmental educational opportunities for both Santa Barbara and Los Angeles educational institutions including: curriculum enrichment, coordination of presentations involving special guest speakers, creation of a young ambassadors program emphasizing the environment www.oceanfutures.orgwww.toxicflameretardants.org

Principal Investigator: Project Kaisei: In 2009 a Science Research Team was formed to study the distribution and amount of debris found in the Subtropical Convergence Zone of the North Pacific Gyre onboard the sailing ship, the S/V Kaisei as part of Project Kaisei. Environmental Impacts of Marine Debris in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre Lead of multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional, multi-national scientific study • Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP’s) Accumulation on Marine Debris in the North Pacific Gyre• The Effects of Marine Debris Pollution and Associated POPs on Dissolved Organic Matter and Reactive Oxygen Species• Spectroscopic Identification and Nano-scale Morphology of Plastic Debris in the North Pacific Gyre• Environmental Impacts of Microbial, Marine Debris Surface Interfaces• Feasibility Determination of Utilizing Remote Sensing Systems to Monitor Micro-Marine Plastic Debris
