The Friends of Long Marine Lab honored entrepreneur and UCSC alumnus Brent Constantz at the group's annual Global Oceans Awards Gala on Saturday, February 28 2009. The award recognized Constantz for developing technology to make "green" cement that could help slow global warming and ocean acidification.
