Trans-Sand: a Transnational by Passing Scheme Funded by a Public Private Dredging Fund
Author: Egis
In order to tackle coastal erosion adjacent to seaports in West Africa, we propose to restore the sand balance through the implementation of a sand bypassing scheme. This solution, based on proven technology, will have direct benefits for the ports (less sedimentation) and coastal communities (less erosion). The solution is scalable to multiple West African seaports, experiencing erosion problems.

Trans-Sand : un système transnational de passage financé par un fonds de dragage public-privé
Author: Egis
Afin de lutter contre l'érosion côtière à proximité des ports maritimes en Afrique de l'Ouest, nous proposons de rétablir l'équilibre du sable par la mise en œuvre d'un système de contournement du sable. Cette solution, basée sur une technologie éprouvée, aura des avantages directs pour les ports (moins de sédimentation) et les communautés côtières (moins d'érosion). La solution est extensible à de multiples ports maritimes d'Afrique de l'Ouest, connaissant des problèmes d'érosion.

Is Technology the Only Way for a New Future?
Our approach aims to establish a resilient and sustainable society by empowering humanware, hardware, and software. Many developing countries, where policy, regulatory, and institutional frameworks are not sufficiently developed to manage coastal areas and conserve environmental assets, have the potential for leapfrogging development using today’s technology.

Saving the Seas
Author: Clewat
This innovation enables concrete measures to clean waterways of plastic, oil and plants. Thanks to our new technology, collection can also be carried out effectively on difficult plants. The technology is based on the flow of water and does not cause mechanical stress. As an example, the city of Kokkola, where 7 different technologies have been tested and only the Clewat solution achieved impressive results in removing Eurasian Watermilfoil.
