Helping companies reach sustainability goals through the protection of marine ecosystems.

Sea the Change is an innovative startup with a social vocation that helps companies achieve their sustainability goals through projects, with high environmental, social, and economic impact, all linked to the protection and safeguarding of marine ecosystems. Sea the Change operates in a context where climate change, and the resulting issues of biodiversity loss, marine litter, and ocean acidification, are challenging the health of the oceans. It is precisely marine ecosystems that may be the greatest ally in the fight against climate change, given that their CO₂ uptake capacity can be 20 times greater than that of terrestrial ecosystems. Institutions (EU, WEF. UN) are also intensifying interest in the Blue economy, given the important environmental, economic, and social benefits it can generate: "1€ invested in the protection of marine ecosystems can generate up to 10€ of social, environmental and economic benefits" (Deloitte, 2021). Companies, on the other hand, driven by financial, legislative, and market motivations need high-impact sustainability solutions that meet international standards. The "sustainable sea-based solutions" proposed by StC offer companies outputs in line with their ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) goals, making accessibility and local impact its distinctive feature.

SEA THE CICLE is an innovative circularity project aiming to establish a pioneering factory in Portugal to produce polypropylene woven fabric, recycled from end-of-life materials, such us discarded Fishing Nets, Mooring Ropes and PCR PP Woven Bags, such as Big Bags, Bulk Bags and carry bags. Our goal is to reduce Europe’s dependency on PP Woven material imports, reduce significantly the environmental impact of its products, and align production with EU sustainability standards. Additionally, this project will fill an existing industrial gap of PP Woven production In Europe.

Extends “Comfortable Inexpensive DAILY REACH” of the Mainstream Charter to 30-50 Nm (!). A patented (2022 Europe and 2023 US) Surfing-v-Hull(R) Hydrodynamic Technology, as realised in our Sea-Surf-14,9m boats entering series production in 2024 in Croatia. For the smaller boats of the size as typical for the mainstream Charter boat industry, provides: (1) Stable high-speed ride on the choppy sea waves – better than boats of twice the weight, (2) Widest effective speed envelope 8kt to 32kt, and (3) Reduction of fuel consumption and the corresponding CO2 footprint by 50%. Enabling the Charter crews to step beyond the traditional "10-15nm daily travel" routine and venture easily to the offshore destinations located 30-50nm away within a 2-3 hour comfortable and inexpensive ride – thereby for the first time including the farther away offshore POIs as the Charter industry’s mainstream destinations – thus promoting a sustainable investment into development of these new locations, which so far have been neglected. And at the same time easing the massive congestion existing currently at the POIs within the “10-15nm typical daily ride" distance. Sea-Surf-14,9m boats facilitate a long-needed change promoting a balanced development of all attractive Maritime Tourism POI destinations, regardless of the travel distance. This in turn will attract significant investment covering a much larger network of POIs and facilitate a more balanced harmonic and ecological development of the Maritime Tourism industry overall – ultimately increasing its attractiveness and leading to its sustainable growth, thus benefiting the communities relying on the Maritime Tourism revenues, whilst preserving the Environment. The technical characteristics of Surfing-v-Hull(R) technology also make it particularly suited for installation of an All-Electric powerplant – which in time will enable the first zero-emission high-speed mainstream Charter boats.

Seabased’s turnkey wave energy parks can deliver the immense power of ocean waves directly to the grid, 24 hours a day, all year long. With a pipeline of over 200 MW, our go-to-market product is cost competitive and designed to scale. The parks can operate alone or serve as companions to renewables like offshore wind to provide stable power to the grid with no CO2 emissions. Our scientists and engineers have amassed more than 300 patents and 20 PhD theses while developing and ocean testing full-scale generators in the seas of four countries, including two multi-generator grid-connected demonstration wave power parks. Seabased wave power parks are virtually invisible and require little maintenance. The parks are gentle on the ocean environment and can act as artificial reefs, providing both habitat and breeding grounds for desired species. We are in the final stages of testing and certification and are planning to install our first fully commercial pilot and ramp up industrial production in 2022.

Do you believe a revolutionary wave energy converter can disrupt the energy industry? We, at Seabreath, have developed just that. Fossil fuels are a dirty, expensive, and unsustainable reality. We need a clean, reliable, and powerful energy solution, but existing options often lack reliability or affordability. Our wave energy converter is a game-changer. Unlike current solutions, it's designed for efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. It captures wave energy and transforms it into clean, reliable electricity. We've made significant progress. With a detailed engineering design complete, we're ready to build the prototype. Seabreath can capitalize on a vast, untapped market. Being a first mover allows us to capture a significant share. Current wave energy solutions are commercially unviable. Seabreath's innovative device boasts impressive efficiency due to its one-way airflow design, while its modular construction minimizes costs throughout implementation, transport, installation, and maintenance. Sustainability is at our core. We utilize renewable energy, recycled materials, and features that promote coastal health and marine life. To bring this technology to market, we require €1,000,000 in funding. This investment will allow us to build the prototype, conduct rigorous testing, and attract further private investment for large-scale deployment. The Seabreath team is comprised of proven engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs with a history of developing innovative technologies. The next step is constructing the 30-meter, 1:1 scale prototype, which will take 17 months. Our numerous awards demonstrate the value and potential of this project. We are ready to make a real difference and create a more sustainable world.

Coastal Intelligence by SeaCras leverages AI analysis of very high-resolution satellite data to evaluate marine emissions and estimate the ecological vulnerability of micro-locations, destinations, and territorial waters. We assess various water quality descriptors and combine them with data on anthropogenic activities, air, and land to provide insights on risks, threats, and opportunities for ports, port authorities, and cruise lines. As a result, we can determine how the marine environment changes over time and understand man-made and climate-related influences while keeping greenhouse gas emissions and costs for our clients to a minimum. This solution is designed to address the challenges faced by stakeholders in the cruising and coastal tourism, maritime transport, offshore energy, and security sectors. Powered by SeaCras products: • SeaCras App - Corporate Demonstration Sustainability Tool • Continuous environmental monitoring and surveillance of the extended port area • ESG reporting on marine resources • Maritime spatial planning & marine protected areas feasibility studies

Product: Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a serious illness caused by eating shellfish contaminated with dinoflagellate algae, which produce harmful toxins. This output concerns a procedure for the effective detoxification of paralytic toxin-contaminated shellfish. The process is based on an existing EC-approved procedure for cockles (Acanthocardia tuberculata), which has been modified to extend detoxification capacity for other bivalve molluscs, namely mussels, clams and scallops. Detoxification is achieved through a thermal process that reduces PSP contamination by almost 85% in bivalve molluscs, making them safe for human consumption, provided the initial level is below a certain threshold.

Seamoretech is a technology provider company, which tackles a critical challenge in the world's growing need for freshwater: the brine discharge from desalination plants. While desalination offers a solution to freshwater scarcity, the current practice of disposing of this concentrated brine solution back into the environment, typically, in the ocean, represents a critical threat to the environment.
