Entanglement with ghost fishing gear kills whales.

By researching whales that survive entanglement with discarded fishing gear, we can better understand the longer term impacts on breeding and feeding.

So we created a LiDAR rangefinder to enable scientists to analyse scars from entanglement with fishing gear, in partnership with the charity Whale Wise.

  • Drone agnostic
    The tool can be used with any modern consumer drone.

  • All-systems-go feedback
    Realtime information on critical features.

  • Worldwide applications
    Configurable with a handle for boat launches, with integrated fins for ground landings.

Mission
Seagrass

Underwater seed harvester to accelerate the restoration of seagrass meadows.

Swansea, Wales

We worked with the charity Project Seagrass to create an underwater seed harvester.

The UK has lost over 90% of its Seagrass meadows.

This harvester will amplify Project Seagrass’s efforts to restore these meadows.
