I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. My kids caught a cold that’s bouncing around their school so the long weekend was . . . fun.
It may have been a holiday, but the BlueTech news did not slow down. Our friends at SeaAhead got two great pieces this week including announcing a new initiative in NJ! Plus Kenyan aquaculture, microalgae, and maritime efficient software.
