The problem is one of integration.
Marine data exists. It just sits in silos: different institutions, incompatible formats, inaccessible to the people designing protected areas. Existing platforms solve pieces of the puzzle. The BioSea Atlas brings them together.
The first framework to model marine biodiversity in three dimensions.
Existing tools treat species as static 2D distributions. The Atlas captures depth and climate-driven population movements, forecasting where protection is most needed across three compounding forces no existing tool integrates:
The first MPA planning framework to treat ocean protection as a strategic security challenge.
Dominant MPA frameworks remain narrowly ecological. The Atlas integrates three security dimensions (military, economic, climate) aligned with conservation goals.
The Atlas is open-source and built to be used.
Designed for NGOs, scientific organisations, and institutions to accelerate MPA creation. Built with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and WRI, drawing on data from:
Deployed first in Cagayancillo, Philippines, with WWF: ~1.4 million hectare enhanced Marine Protected Area in the Coral Triangle.
