SeaCras has been recognized by the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) in their latest report, with a special mention of CEO, Mario Špadina, in the executive summary. At the EMODnet conference that took place in September, our CEO highlighted SeaCras’s expertise in sustainable coastal water monitoring using high-resolution satellite technology.
The company was recognized for its innovative approach, leveraging EMODnet’s resources and open-source data to reduce R&D costs by calibrating satellite imagery with auxiliary data.
Covering 1,600 square kilometres of coastal waters, SeaCras provides pollutant detection, biochemical monitoring, and seabed mapping, serving port authorities, nature parks, and the coastal tourism and maritime transport sectors.
One of more famous used cases is Croatia’s Telašćica Nature Park where SeaCras data distinguishes between man-made and natural effects, helping to protect vulnerable waters from boating impacts. As a company, we strive to address the gaps in water monitoring by offering data-driven insights into human activity and climate change impacts.
Despite the limitations of field sampling in Croatia, SeaCras is actively pushing for reforms in legal frameworks to incorporate new technologies and better integrate marine data into coastal management practices.
SeaCras technology is ready for immediate deployment and offers the potential to significantly enhance the scope and frequency of data collection. This includes expanding coverage of descriptor D5 and D7 marine data, alongside a broad range of physical marine data, ultimately improving our ability to monitor and manage coastal environments.
By simplifying complex data into user-friendly visualisations, SeaCras ensures that marine information is accessible to non-experts, supporting coastal communities to make better decisions.
We are honoured to have been recognised for having a vital role in the marine data industry and our commitment to innovation and environmental protection.
