Data infrastructure for community-stewarded coastal ecosystems.
Global and frontline organisations stewarding mangroves, marine protected areas and artisanal fishing territories. They lead the relationship with community. We build the data architecture so communities own the evidence they produce.
University labs, ocean-science programmes and independent research groups. They lead the science. We join grant consortia as the technical partner, co-designing data protocols and building pipelines that outlast the final report.
Foundations, multilaterals and bilateral agencies working on coastal adaptation, biodiversity and climate justice. Two engagement models: direct project grants, or strategic contracts to embed Benthos as the community ecosystem data layer.
Benthos tools are freely accessible to the frontline communities we serve and the local projects they lead.
Community data is strictly protected from sale, licensing, or third-party extraction. Our operations are fully sustained by grants and partner contracts.
We build diversified revenue streams across grants and technical contracts. Our roadmap is driven by community needs, ensuring no single funder or partner can dictate our mission.
Our infrastructure exists to protect and restore marine, coastal and connected freshwater ecosystems. This purpose is anchored in § 2 of our SatzungArticles of associationThe legally binding charter of a German gGmbH (non-profit limited company)..
