Benthos
A tech non-profit · Built by marine scientists

The base layer.

Conversational AI and data infrastructure for
community-led marine and coastal conservation.

How it works

Conversational interface.

Communities use familiar chat apps to access ecosystem knowledge, query local regulations, and record what matters most in their territory.

Sovereign archives.

Local groups govern these records directly, granting or revoking external access to their territorial data at any time.

Territorial evidence.

Communities transform their records into evidence to secure conservation funding, guide climate adaptation, and drive local marine management on their own terms.

Partners

Who we work with.

We build alongside coastal communities, research institutes, and the foundations funding marine conservation.
