Why is Hollund Industrial Marine a potentially great company with outstanding technological capabilities? Why the TigerLynk of course.
And.....
Because the world is increasing focused on environmental concerns (the earth is our home), and submerged forests offer a unique value proposition with tremendous environmental benefits. Trees do not belong underwater, and they only die once relegated there. Submerged trees continue to affect the reservoirs in which they stand; adding to greenhouse gas emissions and posing hazards to boaters, commercial transport, and fishing. Governments and people everywhere are becoming increasingly aware of the issues surrounding submerged forests, and are viewing this problem and resource as something that cannot be ignored. Consequently, the emerging underwater timber industry has great potential to improve our world, and to reward those with the vision to embrace it.
Environmental Remediation: the removal of pollution or contaminants from environmental media such as soil , groundwater , sediment , or surface water for the general protection of human health and the environment or from a brown-field site intended for redevelopment .
Remediation is generally subject to an array of regulatory requirements, and also can be based on assessments of human health and ecological risks where no legislated standards exist or where standards are advisory.

Contrary to what most investors may think, submerged forest concessions are not awarded for the love of logging. Instead, Environmental Remediation is the reason governments, non-government organizations, and communities offer submerged forest concessions. It is the desire to improve the environmental qualities of a reservoir, lake, or stream that prompts the removal of submerged trees, and not the timber itself. As such, the trees recovered are a mere afterthought. In the weeks and months ahead, we will likely hear much more about the value of these recovered trees. But for now, we can pride ourselves in taking the first steps toward a cleaner and more sustainable environment. Perhaps being a tree-hugger is not so bad after all.
Looking forward to a great week and the days ahead in HIMR land.
