Coastal intelligence
for clearer decisions
A platform in development to integrate marine and coastal data and turn it into organized evidence for action.
We are looking for allies to validate in the field.
We are not selling services yet. We are in the validation and pilot stage.
THE CONCEPT
What is it for?
There is a lot of scattered information about sargassum and reefs. CoralSentinel aims to turn it into organized, actionable evidence for those who need to act.
From scattered to visible
Integrate data from different sources (sea, beach, field) into a single zone-based view, making it easier to understand what is happening.
Evidence to prioritize
Organize information so government, tourism, and NGO teams can coordinate and allocate resources with greater clarity.
Traceability and human review
Where applicable, analyses include expert review. We do not replace professional judgment — we support it with organized data.
CORE MODULE
Sargassum: coastal intelligence dashboard
A web dashboard to integrate and visualize sargassum information — from open sea to beach — supporting operational decisions with organized evidence. Actively in validation.
WHAT IT COVERS
-
Maps by zone and trends
Visualization of coastal conditions by area with temporal tracking to detect changes over time.
-
Logging of arriving sargassum
Not just what is collected: arrival estimates as part of the broader picture for prioritizing efforts.
-
Barrier assessment (in validation)
Qualitative evaluation of coastal barrier condition and effectiveness, to be validated with field teams.
- Operational allies (municipalities, hotels, NGOs) willing to test the dashboard in their zones
- Feedback on which indicators are truly useful for making decisions
- Possibility of a pilot: defining sites, periods, and formats for each context
- Field experts who can review and challenge what we are building
We do not publish ally information without prior authorization. NDAs are available if needed.
SECONDARY LINE
Coral reefs: research and automation
Support for scientific research teams to automate the most repetitive parts of photo and underwater video analysis, without removing expert review.
WHAT CAN BE AUTOMATED
Repetitive tasks
- Image extraction from video (campaign-based processing)
- File organization and classification by site and date
- Generation of exportables and campaign reports
- Preliminary coverage and composition analysis (subject to human validation)
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO WITHOUT EXPERT REVIEW
Important limits
- Does not diagnose coral diseases with certainty without field validation
- Does not replace the judgment of experienced researchers or divers
- Does not make management decisions without human review
- Does not produce publishable data without team validation
AUDIENCES
Who can benefit from it?
CoralSentinel is designed for different profiles working with the coastline from various perspectives.
Government
Municipal, state, and federal. Coordination, logistics, and evidence-based decision making.
Hotels and tourism
Operators and hotels with beachfront presence that need visibility to plan operations.
NGOs and environmental orgs
Field organizations that generate valuable data and need reporting tools.
Research
Labs and universities working with field data who want to optimize analysis workflows.
Professionals
Research divers, environmental monitors, and consultants with coastal field experience.
NO FINANCIAL INVESTMENT REQUIRED
How can you collaborate?
We are looking for three types of collaboration. None involves payment or open-ended commitment.
Field validation
Join a pilot with your team: test the dashboard in your zone, give us direct feedback on what works, what does not, and what is missing. No long-term usage commitments.
Data and evidence
Share existing records under clear usage and confidentiality agreements. We do not publish or use data without explicit authorization.
Technical and scientific advisory
Experts who want to review the indicators, methodologies, or approaches we are developing. Your professional judgment is what gives the platform meaning.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What people ask us most
Not yet. The platform is in active development and validation. At this stage we are looking for allies who will collaborate with feedback and pilots, not end users of a finished product.
No. At this stage we neither sell nor charge anything. Collaboration is voluntary and without financial commitments.
With full confidentiality and under prior agreements. We do not publish or share ally information without explicit authorization.
Yes. Independent professionals (divers, monitors, consultants) are welcome. What matters is relevant field experience and genuine willingness to contribute.
