Non-Invasive Environmental Intelligence for the Deep Ocean
The Problem Today
Traditional deep-ocean environmental monitoring is slow, expensive, and destructive. Physical sampling disturbs fragile ecosystems, grab samples miss 99 % of the area, and conventional cameras cannot distinguish live coral from dead coral from manganese crust. Regulators, conservation NGOs, and responsible miners all demand better: repeatable, zero-footprint, quantitative data that meets or exceeds International Seabed Authority (ISA) and NOAA standards.
How Benthic Spectral Delivers
-
Full-Spectrum Habitat Mapping 400–1,000 nm hyperspectral data classifies benthic substrates, megafauna, and indicator species at >95 % accuracy in real time — no post-processing delays.
-
Zero Physical Interaction Tow-sled or ROV-mounted systems operate 1–3 m above the bottom. Nothing is collected, crushed, or resuspended.
-
Quantified Deliverables Geo-referenced spectral cubes, biodiversity indices, and percentage cover maps ready for direct submission in environmental impact assessments and monitoring programs.
-
Long-Term Monitoring Ready: Identical lighting temperature and spectral calibration on every transect guarantee repeatable measurements across years and contractors.
