FAQs

It’s very adjacent. We are building on thousands of years of cultural knowledge, from Payao’s to modern FADs. Traditional FADs are great for removing pressure from coral reefs, but they quickly become overfished once the whole community finds them.

Sargassum is already a "natural FAD." We are just shifting the energy that would go to harmful microbes and putting it into macrobes (yummy fish). Because our patches are constantly moving and only the subscriber has the tracking data, you essentially have your own private, mobile FAD that is nearly impossible for random boats to stumble upon.

We’ve been looking at this problem too reactively. Turning Sargassum into cosmetics or plastics is a great part of the solution, but those markets are restricted by demand. There is no silver bullet, so we need every approach.

However, waiting until it’s onshore means the damage is already done—to the ecosystem, water quality, and public health. We believe in stopping the crisis while it’s still in the water, before it disrupts our communities and tourism.

Our primary customers are Caribbean governments and international financiers focused on reducing reliance on foreign imports and solving the Sargassum crisis. We also partner with local fishers who want advanced tech to improve their catch quantity and value.

Our vision includes tailoring forecasting for Hotels and Resorts, providing sustainable seafood to Restaurants & Resorts, and issuing carbon/biodiversity credits to eco-focused businesses within the next few years.

Completely. We don't introduce anything foreign; we use native organisms (like oysters, urchins, and crabs) that already live within Sargassum patches. We are simply increasing their concentration.

These organisms eventually drift toward near-shore environments where they help support our local coral reefs. We perform thorough biological due diligence for every customer to ensure we are only using species native to that specific island's ecosystem.
