Our Solution

  • Patent-pending technology that consists of:

    • Floaters (macroalgae)

    • Sinkers (calcifying organisms)

    • Coupler (IP co-settlement and nutrient enhancer)

  • Harnessing the natural life cycles of floaters and sinkers to rapidly generate self-sinking biomass.

  • Our solution ensures carbon sinks beyond the thermocline (~1,000 meters), preventing remineralization and buffers acidification.

    • Our approach supports the development of new marine ecosystems, creating habitat for microorganisms and invertebrates.

    • Over time, this contributes to self-sustaining fisheries and establish a pathway for biodiversity credits as verification methods evolve.
