We’re proud that our solutions have been highlighted as a sustainable sea monitoring use case by Copernicus Marine Service!
As a company, we’re dedicated to monitoring coastal waters in a sustainable way by utilizing satellite imagery. Alongside collaborating with commercial satellite data providers, SeaCras significantly benefits from the European Copernicus program, especially through the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 missions. The company’s primary focus is on creating solutions for tracking clear and shallow coastal waters, which are common geomorphological features in the Mediterranean region.
With sustainable sea monitoring, the aim of SeaCras is to introduce new value-added services that can support various sectors, such as maritime spatial planning, the management of marine protected areas, sustainable tourism, renewable energy, and maritime transport. These solutions are vital in promoting the sustainable use of coastal and marine environments.
Several national and nature parks in Croatia, which are actively working to protect marine ecosystems, are already making use of SeaCras’s services. Among them are Brijuni National Park, Mljet National Park, and Telašćica Nature Park. SeaCras delivers monthly reports and annual assessments of water quality and eutrophication to these parks. This data enables park authorities to make well-informed, data-driven decisions aimed at safeguarding the sea, their most valuable asset.
By leveraging satellite technology to monitor the health of coastal waters, SeaCras plays a key role in the conservation efforts of these protected areas. The company’s services also help ensure that activities related to tourism, energy, and transport remain aligned with long-term sustainability objectives, contributing to both environmental preservation and economic growth.
