Plastic pollution is choking our oceans—threatening marine life, human health, and entire ecosystems. According to the Ocean Conservancy, 11 million metric tons of plastic enter our oceans every year, breaking down into harmful microplastics that infiltrate every level of the food chain—and have even been found in our hearts and brains.

​

The Challenge 

​

Oceans are inundated with plastics and microplastics, harming marine life and introducing toxins into the food chain. These pollutants pose severe risks to ecosystems and human health.

​

Our Solution 

​

The Poseidon Plastic Tracking System tracks and analyzes plastics in oceans using satellite imagery and GeoAI analytics. It identifies pollution hotspots and assesses current and future health risks – providing visibility into future impact of plastic pollution.

​

Key Benefits

​

• Plastic Detection: Maps plastic and microplastic presence in marine environments.

• Health Risk Insights: Highlights at-risk populations due to toxic bioaccumulation.

• Predictive Modeling: Tracks plastic movement and forecasts future hotspots.

• Actionable Data: Empowers decision-makers with real-time insights and forward-looking projections of plastic-caused harm.

 

Impact Areas

​

• Policy Makers: Inform regulations on plastic use and disposal.

• Healthcare Providers: Identify and protect communities vulnerable to plastic exposure.

• Environmental Organizations: Direct cleanup efforts effectively.

• Businesses: Promote sustainable practices.

 

About the Poseidon Plastic Tracking System

​​

The Poseidon Plastic Tracking System leverages advanced geospatial AI and satellite data to identify, track, and assess the health impacts of plastic pollution across oceans and coastal areas. 

​

A Proven Solution with Global Reach

​

• Initial Funding: Supported by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

• Demonstrated Success: Successfully piloted in the Foxe River Basin in the Canadian Arctic, where it identified and tracked plastic contamination in challenging environments and the communities at high-risk for health complications.

• Going Global: With proven results, Poseidon is now expanding worldwide to monitor plastic contamination and provide data-driven solutions for ocean health.
