Ocean monitoring - Strengthening coastal resilience
The problem
Coastal ecosystems are under pressure from nutrient run-off, climate-driven shifts, and biomass production.
Governments and regulators already deploy a variety of sensors, but continuous biological data is missing that is able to identify threats like invasive species.
How we’re solving it
FP Aqua provides real-time biological monitoring through automated underwater microscopy.
By detecting marine biodiversity, we can fill critical data gaps for ecosystem management and policy-making.
What this means for stakeholders
Higher-frequency biological data than manual sampling.
Scalable from local projects to national monitoring networks.
A tool for more accurate environmental impact assessments and forecasting.
