Schmidt Marine

AltaSea is a public-private partnership that brings together science, business and education to generate innovative solutions to global sustainability issues. AltaSea will redevelop 35 acres at the Port of Los Angeles into a unique ocean-based campus that will work to demonstrate how the ocean directly contributes to the well-being of humankind and the health of the earth. Planning and permitting for Phase One Development has begun, with construction to begin in 2017 and will be completed by 2019. The campus will be comprised of three industry-focused hubs: a world-class science hub dedicated to expanding knowledge about the ocean, which will become the permanent home of the Southern California Marine Institute; a business hub that will accelerate creation of new and existing businesses that commercialize scientific breakthroughs and emerging technologies to create ocean-related products and services; and a groundbreaking education hub which includes an outreach center for policymakers, stakeholders, transformational thinkers, students K-12 and the public.
