Our impact

Solving the ocean’s biggest problems

Carbon emissions

Biofouling on hulls causes increased fuel usage, leading to more than 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Keeping hulls clean saves fuel and reduces emissions.

Microplastics and toxic paints

Antifouling coatings release toxic biocides and are the largest direct source of ocean microplastics. Proactive grooming enables the use of non-toxic coatings and improves coating life.

Biosecurity

Nearly 80% of invasive marine species transfer is caused by biofouling on hulls. Bioinvasion threatens ecosystems worldwide.
