Abstract

AI-driven insights to secure the future of our marine environments

Industries such as offshore energy are facing increasing regulatory requirements to minimise their environmental impact. With marine habitats under severe threat from climate change and human activity, there is a pressing need to balance the transition to renewables with the protection of our ocean ecosystems.

OceanOS, a marine biodiversity startup founded in 2022, gives governments, businesses and conservation organisations unparalleled insights into ocean health. The company’s data-driven, AI-powered tools are changing the way we monitor, analyse and protect our precious underwater environments. 

OceanOS’ current primary market is offshore wind. Offshore wind is viewed as a key pillar in the transition to renewable energy globally, with the UK government previously setting a production target of 50 gigawatts by 2030. But as the appetite for offshore wind farms increases, so does the pressure to evidence and minimise their environmental impact.
