Our mission
Advancing a new class of marine observing framework for the long-term stewardship of Patagonia's fjords and the world's ocean.
What we do
We build and implement low-cost, high-resolution observation systems that make environmental change visible in real time by integrating technology development, research and monitoring, and capacity building to deliver actionable science for marine conservation.
Who we are
​We are an interdisciplinary team of marine ecologists and bioengineers with deep expertise and passion for fjord ecosystems. Working through strong international collaborations, we develop and apply frontier science and technology to support monitoring, decision-making, and marine conservation.
focused on frugal and field-robust sensing tools.
delivering continuous, decision-grade data on physical, biogeochemical, and biological processes.
strengthening local expertise, co-design, and long-term operational stewardship.
translating observations into actionable knowledge that safeguards ecosystems while supporting sustainable human activities.
Why Patagonia?
A natural laboratory for the global ocean
+80,000 km of coastline, largest fjord system on Earth.
90% of temperate ice glacier in South America.
50% of the world's whale species.
Why Now?
An ecosystem under rapid change
1 hotspot where climate change, aquaculture and fragile oceanography converge.
+25% glacier mass lost since the mid-20th century.
​+300 baleen whales died in a single mass mortality event in 2015.
We scale solutions developed in Patagonia to inform and strengthen ocean observation and conservation efforts worldwide.
