01
The task
Aquaculture operators need accurate information on habitat suitability and risk factors. Traditional methods are often time-consuming, costly and lack the necessary precision.
02
What Marble does
AquaMap uses Earth Observation products to analyse environmental parameters and assess how suitable coastal habitats are for aquaculture farming and operations.
03
Where it stands
Kicked off with ESA Space Solutions in November 2024 as a six-month study. Its site suitability tool feeds into Marble’s coastal work in PCIS.
