Nearshore Monitoring
Closing the nearshore data gap
Nearly 50% of the world's coastlines are sandy and face rising risks from erosion, storm surges, and pollution. In-situ monitoring of this complex and dynamic environment is important. Yet, these nearshore zones remain under-monitored because it is hard.
Our Unique Solution
Our sensors rise from the sand to take real-time measurements and retract for protection, providing continuous data without disrupting swimming, boating, or other beach activities.
What We Monitor
Waves and currents
Sediment transport and bathymetry
(erosion and accretion)
Water quality and pollution indicators
(coming in 2026)
Key Benefits
Academic studying coastal erosion
Real-time nearshore sediment and morphology data improves your erosion models and understanding.
Engineering consultancy
If you are an engineering consultancy, accurate continuous nearshore data optimises your coastal risk assessments and designs.
Hydrological parameters researcher
Real-time hydrological data from the shore will be a game changer.
Bathing water quality monitoring
Continuous turbidity and water quality data enables immediate alerts and safer beach management.
Biodiversity researcher
Combined physical and ecological monitoring helps you track seabed habitat changes and restoration outcomes.
Applications
- Coastal risk and erosion modelling
- Infrastructure design and resilience
- Bathing water quality predictions (as proposed by EU staff working document on water directive 2025)
- Ecosystem monitoring and parametric insurance triggers
Inspired by Nature
Inspired by the Stargazer fish, our solution uses multiple sensors buried beneath the seabed, connected into an integrated system.
