about this issue
From groundbreaking marine instrumentation to metocean data visualization and lab-to-market efforts carried out by research-industry partnerships, the ongoing expansion of advanced ocean-based technologies and survey methods continues to present growth opportunities for the professional applied marine science community and shape the prospects of scalable Ocean Enterprise.
In this issue of environment coastal & offshore (eco) magazine—Ocean Enterprise—we’ve gathered some of the leading scientific minds working toward a sustainable Blue Economy, producing novel solutions and innovative tools for carrying out the complex, multi-stakeholder projects driving the ocean industry.
Two critical areas of Ocean Enterprise investment are big data and marine sensors. Voyis, leveraging its cutting-edge optical sensors, has proven its efficacy and role in visualizing underwater environments in support of marine research and conservation.
In a notable force multiplication effort, SubCtech has collaborated with skippers competing in the Vendée Globe 2024 to gather key oceanographic data—such as salinity, temperature, and carbon dioxide concentrations—from remote regions of the world’s oceans that have always been notoriously challenging to sample and study.
In eco’s “topside talks” the National Oceanography Centre’s (NOC) Head of Innovation Centre & Events, Mark Hamson, joins the editorial team to introduce the Ocean Catalyst program—an ocean accelerator providing early-stage funding, technical resources, mentorship, experiences, and more to UK ocean-based startups.
Tadiran Batteries has proven decisive in enhancing the operating life of ocean instruments and platforms key to observation efforts. Data produced from these platforms is vital to the improvement of forecasting and predictions of chemical, climate, and ocean conditions impacting sensitive marine environments.
The offshore energy industry has long championed the research and development of dynamic positioning (DP) systems, a vessel’s array of sensors, propellers, and thrusters engineered to counter natural forces and bring precision and safety to at-sea activities. Miros has developed a wave prediction technology for integration into DP systems to further improve vessel captains’ control of positioning and heading in fickle ocean conditions.
Welcome to eco magazine’s final edition of 2024, in which you will find a compelling mix of editorial, news, and firsthand reporting designed to bring Ocean Enterprise into focus.

Carlos M. Duarte, Ph.D.
Prof. Carlos Duarte is arguably the most versatile aquatic ecologist of his generation; his work takes him from the tropics to polar ecosystems, from macrophytes to microbes, from coastal systems to open ocean gyres. The versatility of his research has made him one of the world’s leading authorities on multiple branches of biological oceanography and marine ecology.
