Objective

Planblue has created the very first Underwater Satellite to bring our oceans into the Data Age. BLUESURVEY is a cutting-edge hardware-software system that allows for the automated, accurate, objective and detailed mapping of our seafloors. Our technology will revolutionize the way that thousands of surveys and environmental impact assessments are performed every year to provide decision-makers, like governmental entities, fisheries, and coastal managers, with completely new data on how to best manage the oceans resources to avoid reaching a tipping point. We have already developed a strategy to make BLUESURVEY widely available to the seafloor monitoring industry via a lease-license strategy and have confirmed a massive interest from the market to have access to our technology to enhance and protect 2.5T in ocean assets. We are requesting 2.5M from the EIC for the innovation activities needed to realize our ambitious vision to make BLUESURVEY the new standard in seafloor monitoring.
