Serco and Washington Autonomous Vehicle - Cluster (WAV-C) Briefing to KEDA Board of Directors
In the mid-1970s, tires were routinely dumped in Puget Sound waterways to create habitat for fish and other sea creatures. The negative impacts, of this practice are now well known. Degrading tires release harmful toxins damaging sensitive ecosystems, marine-life and our food chain. Known pollutants include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), methane, heavy metals, lead, mercury, and benzene.
On October 25th, 2023, WAV-C and partner SERCO conducted a survey to identify the location of these tires to kickstart an eventual removal of these debris. This environmental remediation effort will improve marine ecosystems, the quality of our waterways and protect public health. Click here to view the Phase 1 Update slide deck.
