Working with governments, non-profits, and commercial customers, Hohonu designs, builds, and deploys IoT sensor networks along waterways to deliver data on localized sea levels to protect coastal communities against sea level rise. Hohonu works with NOAA across 14 U.S. states to deploy its real-time IoT sensor network in coastlines, rivers, and streams.

Sway combats plastic pollution and its devastating effects by replacing single-use plastics with packaging made from seaweed. Sway's technology drops into traditional plastic infrastructure, while simultaneously replenishing ocean health, sequestering carbon, promoting benevolent materials, and ultimately creating a more inclusive climate movement. The company is based in Berkeley, California, and works with seaweed farmers across the Western Hemisphere.

SINAY is a "plug & play" big data platform that includes an exhaustive maritime database and dedicated AI to create data-centric apps that provide actionable insights.

Uada aims to replace plastic packaging in the supply chain by making alternative containers using natural materials. The project also aims to educate end-users about the plastic waste and how to create more environmentally conscious consumption habits. Uada targets food containers at events (such as festivals) and food delivery packaging, and incentivizes and facilitates the switch in packaging materials - for which they will instead use deciduous dried leaf material to replace disposable plastic, which will biodegrade in 30 days.

Brazil has one of the longest coastlines, and more than 80% of the population lives in the coastal zone, but little is discussed about the Ocean in schools, universities and communities. This project sought to fill this gap and produced a series of 12 webinars targeting young citizens (13-25yrs), all openly available on Youtube, in order to increase ocean awareness and communication, and call to action.

Cape Verde is now one of the last refuges in the Northeastern Atlantic for sharks, and Brava Island is a hotspot for more than 60 species of sharks and rays. Through this project, Biflores (a local NGO) aims to empower local communities and fishermen to protect their natural heritage by providing them with knowledge, training, and tools to sustainably improve their livelihoods, protect sharks, rays and other marine resources, and understand the vital role of sharks in marine ecosystems.
