Deep boom interception
A surface barrier with a deep skirt intercepts floating mats while sea turtles, fish and marine mammals pass underneath. Proven in nearshore deployments across the Mexican Caribbean.
Technology
Deployed today, concept tomorrow — labeled honestly.
We separate what is already operating in the water from what is a rendering. Conceptual illustrations are marked as concepts and never presented as deployed systems.
Systems
The interception stack
Collection vessels
Conveyor-equipped harvesting vessels lift biomass out of the water and offload to shore for processing. Already operating in Quintana Roo.
MANTA Sentinel concept
An autonomous sub-surface sentinel that maps mat thickness and drift with sonar beneath the mat, feeding detection triggers and wildlife-avoidance decisions before a vessel ever approaches.
Beneficial use
Collected biomass can be routed to compost, biochar, biogas, construction material or arsenic-managed disposal rather than landfill. Beneficial use pathways must be validated for arsenic before land application.
Detection
MANTA Sentinel
Detection is the layer that decides whether a vessel ever approaches. A sub-surface sentinel maps mat thickness, drift vector and animal presence beneath a raft, feeding the AMBER-stage trigger and the wildlife-avoidance decision. This is a concept illustration, not a deployed system.
