Projectdetails

Introduction

Planblue has created the very first Underwater Satellite to bring our oceans into the Data Age.

Technology Overview

BLUESURVEY is a cutting-edge hardware-software system that allows for the automated, accurate, objective, and detailed mapping of our seafloors.

Impact on Environmental Assessments

Our technology will revolutionize the way that thousands of surveys and environmental impact assessments are performed every year. It will provide decision-makers, such as governmental entities, fisheries, and coastal managers, with completely new data on how to best manage the ocean's resources to avoid reaching a tipping point.

Market Strategy

We have already developed a strategy to make BLUESURVEY widely available to the seafloor monitoring industry via a lease-license strategy.

Market Interest

  • We have confirmed a massive interest from the market to have access to our technology.
  • This access will enhance and protect 2.5 trillion in ocean assets.

Funding Request

We are requesting 2.5 million from the EIC for the innovation activities needed to realize our ambitious vision to make BLUESURVEY the new standard in seafloor monitoring.
