The Sargassum Solution

Profitable. Zero waste. Offshore collection of 1,000 tons of sargassum daily in 2027, converted onshore into the fuels and commodities that fund the fleet.

The Challenge

Decades In The Making

The Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt is an escalating global environmental disaster decades in the making. Spanning thousands of miles from West Africa to the Gulf of Mexico, this floating seaweed bloom is continuously fueled by nutrient-rich river runoff.

Why It Matters
What Fails Now

Local cleanup workarounds miss the core problem and create severe secondary risks. Burying sargassum in landfills leaches heavy metals and arsenic straight into coastal water supplies.

What Is Needed

Interception before the bloom reaches shore, and conversion into commercial products. With 2027 projected 20% worse than 2026, cleanup costs escalate exponentially without it.

What It Costs

$40B

Annual Tourism Losses

Tourism industries across the United States, Caribbean, and Mexico suffer an estimated loss exceeding $40 billion every year.

$120M

Shipping & Fisheries

Maritime shipping lanes and commercial fisheries sustain an additional $120 million per year in direct losses.

Zero

Solutions, Until Now

Dense mats smother coral reefs, block the light essential for underwater life, and destroy fragile beach habitats.

Our Solution

Carbon Neutral. Zero Waste. Profitable

We have engineered a collection and processing model that pays for itself.

Phase 1

South Florida Processing

Harvesting nearshore and beach sargassum and combining it with local biomass waste for high-yield onshore conversion.

Phase 2

Deep Sea Intercept

Offshore deepwater harvesting intercepts live sargassum in the open ocean before it reaches shallow water and decomposes, focused on the Caribbean and the Amazon, Gambia, Niger, and Mississippi river deltas where blooms feed off fertilizer runoff.

The Edge

Unlike municipal cleanup dependent on ongoing government subsidies, our commercial process is profitable. Operating 24/7, the modular Intelligent Value Recovery Facility sends zero waste to landfill while converting feedstock into high-demand commercial products.

The Architecture

Offshore Fleet Onshore Recovery

Offshore Fleet Operations
  • Satellite and UAV tracking. NASA satellite imagery and UAVs map optimal harvest zones daily.
  • Harvester and processing fleet. Targeting 1,000 metric tons of daily harvest taken to shore.
Onshore IVRF Processing
  • Feedstock matrix. Processes offshore sargassum, beach sargassum, plastic, and sugarcane bagasse.
  • Thermochemical conversion. Modular engines convert mixed feedstock into commercial off-takes.

Milestones

Key Achievements

The Roadmap To Scale

Phases Of Rollout

Year 1

South Florida

Demonstrate effectiveness of the MVP and streamline operations in preparation for scaling.

Year 3

Caribbean

Scaling to process 8 million metric tons per season. Return to 2012 sargassum levels throughout the Caribbean.

Year 10

Global Basin Intercept

A 2,400 ship fleet deployed across the Atlantic basin. Regenerative no-runoff fertilizer, produced from organic waste and sargassum, deployed to major river basins. Oyster beds planted and thriving in river deltas to consume excess nitrogen and phosphorus.

Assembling A World-Class Consortium

We are solving one of the Atlantic ocean's greatest environmental challenges. We invite inquiries from clean technology investors, municipal and national government bodies, commercial off-take partners, and marine engineering leaders.
