Fort Bragg, long powered by timber, fishing and tourist economies, is getting notice statewide for its push to create monetary green out of the Blue Economy, state officials said. … For Fort Bragg, Blue Economy leadership is also helping to  create innovative solutions to the ever-worsening water shortage the city faces. The City of Fort Bragg is ground zero for Oneka Technologies, a Canadian company working all over the world with wave energy to make freshwater. The company found Fort Bragg a willing partner to test its revolutionary wave energy-powered desalination device on the West Coast, a place that Oneka Technologies CEO and cofounder Dragan Tutic wants to be. After a presentation before the council, the city and Oneka put together a bid for a $1.5 million state grant that is now pending.
