Simple dashboard, clear description:
In combination with our buoy system HYDRA, the BLUE platform streams HYDRA sensor data live and lets you add photos and field observations.
Our systems gather information about:

• light

• salinity

• temperature

• waves

• ...

With a shared HYDRA setup across sites, data from different water bodies can be directly compared, supporting research, assessment, and early in-water applications.
Over time, this makes it easier to relate observed biological changes to environmental conditions.

Adressing 5 frequent questions.

Who is the HYDRA system made for?

HYDRA is designed for small-scale farmers, researchers, and anyone (private individuals) who want to start with maritime farming or water monitoring in coastal areas or inland waters.

Can I expand my setup later?

Absolutely! HYDRA's modular design lets you start small and add more units as you grow. It can be also easily integrated into existing (Farm) infrastructures or transitions into a more conventional farm later on by adding more grow units.

What can I grow and evaluate?

The system with our grow unit supports a variety of shorter algae species, e.g. Ulva. Since march 2025, we have proven, that larger algae, such as sugar kelp grow well on our systems! If you want to be among the first testers with other macro algae or underwater organisms, feel free to contact us! From 2026 we plan to expand into mussels and sponges.

Is it difficult to set up?

Our system was designed for easy setup and integration. Nonetheless depending on your location and preexisting or non existing infrastructure, level of setup can vary. We can gladly provide advice!
Just contact us.

Why is underwater / maritime farming important?

It makes only sense to farm more on water on our water planet. Seaweed e.g. is a sustainable super-resource that helps the environment and supports a growing blue economy. Currently, most of our algae is used in yoghurt, ice cream, vegan sausage....you name it! In the future we will be able to make textiles, bio plastics and animal feed from the sea.
