Enabling Intelligent and Timely Algal Bloom Decision-Making
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are extreme growth of algae or cyanobacteria that can overrun the natural ecology of lakes, rivers and oceans, producing toxins that are harmful to humans, animals and waterbody ecology. With increasing global temperatures, extreme rainfall events and increased use of fertilizers, increased occurrences and intensity of HABs is expected. With these threats to human and ecological health, increased monitoring and more efficient, rapid decision-making is necessary. BloomOptix focuses on empowering users with intelligent decision-making by providing them with high quality spatial, water quality and microscopic data. By combining satellite, drone and water quality data, BloomOptix provides a valuable toolkit for monitoring and studying HABs in multiple environments. Our newest innovation, HABAlert™, also uses AI-powered microscopy to allow users to diagnose their suspected HABs in seconds, rather than waiting days for lab results. With a comprehensive suite of services, BloomOptix provides users with multiple options to understanding their lakes. Whether your interests lie in real-time detection and protecting public health, or large-scale studies, BloomOptix has solutions to help.
