Problem we are solving
Marina are full during the high season, they are creating mooring area to increase their stopover capacity and protect some areas but they need to go many times a day to check which buoy is available or not to give it to boater on stopover.
Boaters are anchoring across coasts without any safety and degrading posidonia.

Sustainable Impact on Blue Ecconomy
Oceanspot is a smart mooring buoy who give the real-time occupancy to the marina, detect the boater identification through the app to make the booking. Stay on this bouy allows to spend a secured night and to preserve seabed and posidonia.
