How will planet Earth evolve? Do the phenomena we’re observing represent short-term fluctuations or long-term trends? Polar and marine research has always been a fascinating scientific challenge; today it is also research into the future.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

We promote science-based action on behalf of key species like sea otters, sharks, and Pacific bluefin tuna. We've advocated successfully to create marine protected areas, eliminate ocean plastic pollution, and end the shark fin trade, and we support policies to address climate change and ocean acidification, which threaten ocean health and our own survival.

Unseenlabs

11 jobs

Unseenlabs is a French company based in Rennes, Brittany, and founded in 2015 by the Galic brothers. The initial idea came from an observation concerning vessels at sea: there was an extensive lack of geolocation data. It is mainly due to the fact that ships can disappear from radars and become invisible. It is a serious matter because these vessels may engage in unlawful activities (non-exhaustive list): - Illegal or undeclared fishing. - Hostile intrusions in waters under national jurisdiction (Exclusive Economic Zone, Continental Shelf, Territorial Waters). - Environmental damages (illegal discharges). - Destruction of sensitive submarine installations (submarine cables, etc.). Unseenlabs has developed a new technology using radio frequency signals detection − or space-based RF detection − to geolocate vessels whose emitters are turned off. Unseenlabs uses satellites to provide data to its private and public customers (governments, shipping companies, NGOs, shipowners, etc.) worldwide. Unseenlabs’ satellite constellation specifically detects, characterizes, and geolocates RF signals coming from a wide range of emitters. It covers sea areas of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. Since the launch of BRO-1 (BRO stands for Breizh Reconnaissance Orbiter) in 2019, 10 other BROs blasted into space - and two more will be launched in March 2024. The aim is to extend the constellation to up to 25 satellites in 2025.
