HARNESSING THE POWER OF THE OCEAN WITH INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS
We are engaging both in the development of new technology and the deployment of existing solutions to educate the public, increase MPA effectiveness, and reduce the economic burden on local communities and authorities.
We identify technology providers with the potential for major positive impact on the Ocean; helping them develop their product or services and identify ways of utilising that technology to monitor, police and research Marine Protected Areas globally. We act as a bridge between the maritime security and marine conservation sectors.
AUTONOMOUS TECHNOLOGY
Our partners at ACUA Ocean are developing the Protector, an autonomous vessel equipped with technologies capable of monitoring large areas of habitat cost-effectively and safely, while collecting biotic and abiotic data in the water for research and fisheries protection. Using high-resolution cameras it will gather imagery that can be used to inform policy, and even to prosecute malign actors, in the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
DRONE SOLUTIONS
Drones have become increasingly popular in the past few years, and they can be used to protect the ocean in a variety of ways. One of the most noteworthy ways they can be used is to monitor wildlife and natural habitats. By using drones, researchers can gain a better understanding of wildlife behavior, identify areas of habitat loss, and observe how climate change is affecting different species. Finally, drones can be used to help fight of over-fishing, which helps protect endangered species and the environment.
Marinas Guardian is identifying a suite of surveillance solutions that can be offered to MPAs tp provide Optimal cost support. Marinas Guardian is in negotiations with providers of both satellite , long range and short range aerial drone solutions and has a strategic alliance with Acua Ocean for surface and sub surface solutions.
IF YOU CAN'T SEE IT, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN
The Metaverse is a term used to describe a collective virtual shared space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and artificially simulated reality. It refers to a future internet, where people can virtually interact with each other and their environment in a 3D space. It has been described as a “shared, persistent, 3D virtual world, populated by avatars, owned by its users, and rooted in a global network of connected virtual environments. The Metaverse can also be thought of as an immersive 3D virtual world, where users can create, socialize, and interact with each other in a shared, persistent space. It is a platform for people to explore and create, and it has the potential to become the next great digital frontier. Beyond supporting our efforts to improve ocean conservation education, we see the metaverse as being a critical part of our consulting offering.
