Oceanima

Bluetech · Marine regeneration

The sea,
alive again.

I'm building Oceanima: a project to help underwater habitats damaged by human activity regenerate, using what nature already knows how to do.

The story

It all started on two beaches.

Sinis, Sardinia. After a storm the shore is covered in Posidonia leaves. I ask why nobody removes them. "They're good for the sea," I'm told.

A few months later, walking along the seafront of the Ferrara coast, I find a completely different sea: barely alive, almost suffocated by mucilage and unnatural debris.

I wanted to do something for that sea, and for every place that suffers from human impact. That's how Oceanima was born.

Where nature is healthy, the sea protects itself. Where we have harmed it, it needs help.

The area of Posidonia oceanica meadows in the Mediterranean has shrunk by about a third over the last 50 years.

The mission

A virtuous circle, not a one-off intervention.

Regenerating a marine habitat only works if it lasts. That's why Oceanima brings three forces together.

01

Nature

Bringing damaged underwater habitats back to life, respecting their own pace.

02

Research

Starting from science and measuring results, so that every intervention can be verified.

03

Business

Building a model that also stands on its own economically, so it can grow and be replicated.

Who I'm looking for

Oceanima™ is just starting, and I'm looking for the right people.

The project is at pre-seed stage. It's the right time to join and shape it together.

Researchers and technical experts

Marine biology, naval engineering, environmental science: I'm looking for skills to validate and develop the project.
