Ocean Integrity Caribbean

Welcome to Ocean Integrity, where our mission is to safeguard the health of our oceans through innovative and sustainable solutions. Our Caribbean Sargassum Collection at Sea initiative addresses the growing challenge of sargassum seaweed invasions in the Caribbean, which pose significant ecological and economic threats to coastal regions. The Sargassum Challenge Sargassum, a type of brown seaweed, has been proliferating across the Caribbean, impacting marine ecosystems, tourism, and local economies. Large mats of sargassum can smother coral reefs, deplete oxygen levels in the water, and release harmful gases as they decompose, disrupting marine life and coastal communities. Our Solution: Collection at Sea To tackle this problem, Ocean Integrity has developed a comprehensive Sargassum Collection at Sea program, focused on intercepting and managing sargassum before it reaches the shore: Early Detection and Monitoring: We employ advanced satellite imagery and oceanographic data to monitor sargassum blooms and predict their movements. Our team continuously tracks sargassum to implement timely and effective collection strategies. Efficient Harvesting Techniques: Utilizing specially designed vessels equipped with sargassum collection systems, we harvest seaweed directly from the ocean. Our technology allows for large-scale collection while minimizing the impact on marine life and ecosystems. Benefits of Our Approach Environmental Protection: By removing sargassum at sea, we prevent it from reaching sensitive coastal areas, protecting marine biodiversity and coastal habitats. Economic Impact: Our efforts help maintain the attractiveness of tourist destinations, supporting local economies and livelihoods. Sustainable Practices: Processing sargassum into useful products promotes sustainable development and reduces the ecological footprint of our activities. Join Us in Making a Difference
