	Date	Events
	July 21, 2010	Poseidon Sciences announces the collaboration with Selenium, Ltd (Texas) to develop environmentally friendly biocidal treatment of anaerobic bacteria that cause biofouling in hydraulic fracturing operations. Read more HERE.
	June 17, 2010	Tara Foundation for Marine Research and Poseidon Sciences entered into a Memorandum of Agreement to conduct research on board Tara Oceans, a ship traversing the world's ocean on a scientific expedition. Learn more, click HERE.
	June 2010	Poseidon's Nereus project is continuing with the development of the next generation of nontoxic dispersants. Nereid 820 is a further improvement in the design of environmentally friendly materials. See the video demonstration HERE.
	May 2010	Poseidon Sciences describes the Marine Toxicology Sentinel Screening program to validate eco-friendly status of marine coatings. To read more, please click HERE.
	May 2010	A new publication on Poseidon's biological control method for malarial vectors was recently published in the journal Parasite & Vectors. This new method employs hibernating embryos of the annual fish to be transported without water and introduced in temporary pools. Upon hatching, the fish would decimate all the mosquito larvae in the seasonal pools. To read more, please click HERE.
	May 18, 2010	Poseidon Sciences continuing its R&D work under the new program called the Nereus Project to develop new methods to mitigate damage from oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico using a novel, environmentally friendly material, called Nereid 640. This new method enables the oil complex to disperse and remain suspended with wave action to allow marine bacteria to efficiently degrade the oil. See a laboratory demonstration HERE. For additional technical information, please see the 3-page product description HERE.
	February 23, 2010	Poseidon Sciences announces expansion of its eco-toxicology testing to support R&D effort of marine companies to develop eco-friendly products. Please click here to read the news.
	February 2010	Simulation of marine coating performance under natural tropical seawater conditions. Proceedings of the European Coatings Conference. Berlin, Germany. February 9-10, 2010. To read the article, please click HERE.
	October 2009	Poseidon Sciences participates in the 5th International Congress of Vector Ecology held on 11-16 October 2009 in Belek, Antalya, Turkey. The topic of the oral presentation authored by Jonathan R. Matias and Araceli A. Lorella was MR-08 (menthol propyleneglycol carbonate) as a nontoxic GRAS alternative to pyrethroids in indoor, area wide and personal protection against insects.
