Definition
Solutions addressing ocean pollution, conservation, and sustainable fishing
Technologies
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) collect ocean data without human divers. Satellite remote sensing monitors ocean temperature, currents, and biological activity. eDNA sampling assesses marine biodiversity from water samples. Ocean sensors measure pH, dissolved oxygen, and pollutant levels. Marine energy harvests power from waves and tides.
Applications
Autonomous surface vehicles collect ocean climate data across entire ocean basins. Underwater sensors monitor coral reef health. Marine carbon removal projects sequester CO2 in ocean ecosystems. Acoustic monitoring tracks whale populations and underwater noise pollution.
Market and funding
Ocean technology addresses the monitoring, protection, and sustainable utilization of oceans that cover 70% of Earth's surface. With 5 funders. The blue economy is projected to double to $3 trillion by 2030.
