Data infrastructure for community-stewarded coastal ecosystems.
Global and frontline organizations stewarding mangroves, marine protected areas and artisanal fishing territories. They lead the relationship with the community. We build the data architecture so communities own the evidence they produce.
University labs, ocean-science programs 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 that embed Benthos as the data layer for community-held evidence.
Benthos tools are freely accessible to the frontline communities we serve and the local projects they lead.
Community data is never sold, licensed or extracted by third parties. Our operations are 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)..
