Stream Ocean AG
Stream Ocean has a deep team of various experts. It is led by David Lunsford who already has practical experience in developing new environmental data technologies and bringing them to market. He successfully co-founded Carbon Delta, a Swiss start-up that measured companies’ climate risk exposure, and was acquired by MSCI in 2019.
Adrian Ibanez and Adrian Hermann are the Stream Ocean camera hardware developers. Miura Hawkins is leading the software development team, which also includes several ETH Zurich, graduate students. On the scientific front, Florence Cuttat, Robert Bajada, and Florence Tremblay Otis contribute with their environmental engineering, marine ecology, and conservation biology background. Stream Ocean most recently added a marketing and design expert named Benjamin Li.
Monitoring coral reefs is paramount to understand marine ecosystems and measure the efficiency of restoration and conservation efforts. However, existing underwater monitoring solutions are not up to the task, relying on expensive periodic surveys providing photographic data and non-standardized notes. While this information has been instrumental in advancing scientific knowledge, it has important limitations when it comes to the assessment and comparison of different projects’ performance, scalability, and engaging stakeholders. Current monitoring methods only cover a very small time window, lack precision in estimating population sizes, and are relatively expensive and time-consuming. Consequently, sponsors and project developers are slowed down in their mission by a lack of data, standards, and content.
Stream Ocean brings innovation into this field to deliver:
- real-time and continuous monitoring through our low-maintenance, cost-effective, cloud-connected underwater video cameras;
-objective, standardized and robust project performance assessment methodologies, actionable and transparent reporting built from project-level data and rich site-specific imagery; and
-24/7 service accessibility via our online platform
