About us
We are a team of 4 members (biologists, marine ecologists and engineers), who developed a project to respond to Mike Horn's Pangaea X challenge. This program aims to support teams of young people around innovative projects with a positive impact on our planet and our oceans. Currently, we are one of the 5 finalist teams on the challenge, working towards the development of our project.
