We’re extremely proud that SeaCras has been featured in the latest edition of Cruising Journal, one of the world’s most-read magazines in the cruising industry, with the article Protecting the Seas for a More Sustainable Future, and recognized for our AI-powered Coastal Intelligence solution that helps promote the marine preservation efforts!
Ocean pollution is a worldwide problem with far-reaching economic, ecological, and social consequences. The absence of early warning systems and unmonitored pollution lead to over €20 billion in losses within the EU alone. In addition, 79% of coastal seabeds are considered physically disrupted, leading to substantial biodiversity loss.
The impact of the cruising industry on the marine environment of many destinations and cities has yet to be fully assessed in order to enable preventive measures and optimize operations for a long-term sustainable business model.
Our project, Coastal Intelligence, addresses key challenges faced by stakeholders in the blue economy:
- affordable and ecological monitoring of vast sea areas
- alignment of company operations and business practices with ESG standards (according to GRI and ESRS guidelines)
- prevention of pollution and avoidance of greenwashing through transparent disclosure of human impacts on the marine environment
SeaCras’s satellite imaging analysis plays a crucial role in advancing marine preservation within the cruising industry. By providing data-driven insights, we enable cruise lines and port operators to closely monitor ecosystems, prevent their negative environmental impact, and adhere to international sustainability standards — which was also highlighted in the latest online Cruising Journal article, where SeaCras was mentioned as one of the global innovators in the blue economy.
Measuring the impact of the cruise industry on the marine environment is crucial from the perspective of coastal destination tourism management, as numerous stakeholders involved in the value and supply chain drive the economy, especially in less developed regions.
Protecting the seas, oceans, and coastal communities isn’t just something we aim for – it’s at the core of what we do.
