The agreement marks the 15th pilot project launched by the BEI since its establishment in 2016 as a launching pad for sustainable, ocean-based technology ventures. The two-year pilot project will be deployed across multiple locations throughout San Diego Bay and monitored for effectiveness, with the aim of enhancing biodiversity at port infrastructure without disrupting daily operations. The agreement is capped at US$ 208,000 in exchange for royalties on future gross revenues of up to US$ 1. 25 million.
