Roots and Algorithms

Rooting marine conservation
in local knowledge.

Through data infrastructure and documentary film.

Data infrastructure

Local knowledge on equal footing with marine science and official regulation.

It reaches people on the phones and channels they already use, so nothing depends on new equipment or a new habit.

Documentary film

Roots and Algorithms.

Frontline communities describe how they practice conservation in their own territories, filmed in collaboration with local filmmakers.

Why it matters

Most technology for the ocean is engineered far from the coastlines it models.

We build from the coast. As Brazilian marine scientists and engineers, we design tools that keep local knowledge documented, protected and useful beyond short project cycles.
